Introductory  Note. 


THE  title  "Journals  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes"  has  been  retained  for  the  prefent 
volume,  which  is  the  13th  and  laft  of  the  feries  of  Journals  in  the  publication 
of  which  the  Virginia  State  Library  has  been  engaged  fince  the  year  1904, 
though,  fo  far  as  the  contents  of  this  book  are  concerned,  it  is  not  entirely 
accurate.  The  material  found  in  this  volume  is  not  made  up  altogether,  or  even  in  the 
main,  of  entire  Journals  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes  or  of  excerpts  from  thefe  Journals, 
but  of  a  few  fuch  excerpts,  it  is  true,  and  of  fuch  papers  of  the  Houfe  and  of  the  General 
or  Grand  Affembly  as  a  whole  as  are  extant  and  have  been  found  by  the  editor  of  the 
volume.  Thefe  papers  include  petitions,  letters,  and  ftatements  fent  by  the  Houfe  or 
by  the  Affembly  to  the  authorities  in  England,  and  communications  made  to  the  Affem- 
bly, as  well  as  fuch  portions  of  the  Journals  as  have  been  preferved,  the  latter  being, 
unfortunately,  diftreffmgly  meagre,  though,  even  at  that,  of  the  very  higheft  importance 
hiftorically.  It  was  thought  by  the  editor  that  the  "papers"  of  the  Houfe  and  of  the 
Affembly  fhould,  in  the  abfence  of  the  Journals,  be  printed,  becaufe  they  are  clofely 
affociated  with  the  Journals,  which  have  been  loft,  and  with  the  laws,  the  majority 
of  which  for  this  period  have,been  printed  in  Hening's  "Statutes  at  Large,"  though, 
unfortunately,  many  of  thefe,  too,  have  been  loft.  It  was  thought  that  all  the  material 
which  would  be  of  help  in  the  reconftru(5lion  of  the  activities  of  the  Houfe  and  of  the 
Affembly  for  the  earlieft  period  fhould  be  prefented  in  one  place.  The  material  in  this 
volume  is  fimilar  to  that  in  the  firft  118  pages  of  the  preceding  volume,  and  not  fimilar, 
except  in  places,  to  the  material  making  up  the  bulk  of  that  volimie,  namely,  the  com- 
plete Journals  from  1680  through  1693 ,  printed  from  contemporary  copies  of  thefe  Journals 
fent  to  England  at  the  clofe  of  each  feffion  and  there,  with  one  or  two  exceptions,  pre- 
ferved. The  book  contains,  alfo,  the  orders  of  the  Affembly  for  the  period  covered. 
Thefe  orders  are  of  the  nature  of  laws  rather  than  of  journal  material,  being  the  aftual 
judgments  of  the  Affembly  in  regard  to  a  multitude  of  local  and  private  matters,  in 
reference  to  which  it  was  not  deemed  fuitable  to  ena(5l  a  law.  They,  however,  frequently 
contain  much  of  what  in  later  times  would  appear  in  the  Journals,  and  not  by  any 
means  all  of  them  have  been  printed  by  Hening.' 

It  was  thought  beft,  however,  to  retain  for  this  volume  the  title  given  to  the  feries, 
rather  than  attempt  to  give  it  a  title  more  truly  defcriptive  of  its  contents,  becaufe,  firft, 
it  actually  does  contain  all  the  journal  entries  that  have  come  down  from  thofe  early 
days,  and,  fecondly,  it  is  only  one  volume  of  a  feries,  and  any  change  in  the  title  would 
probably  lead  to  confufion  in  the  ufe  of  the  volumes  and  in  references  to  be  made  to  them. 

In  colledling  the  material  which  will  be  found  in  the  body  of  this  book,  a  few  papers 
have  been  obtained  which  are  of  fuch  value  as  fupplementing  and  illuftrating  that 

'  For  fuller  defcription  of  thefe  orders,  both  as  to  their  nature  and  hiftory,  fee  the  Preface  to  the  preceding 
volume,  pp.  XVII  and  XXXI. 


[  xxvi ] 

material  as  to  call  for  publication  in  an  Appendix.'  This  material,  none  of  it  having 
been  printed  before,  fo  far  as  is  known  to  the  editor  of  this  volume,  except  one  fmall 
item,  will  be  found  more  particularly  defcribed  in  the  Preface. 

The  Preface  to  the  prefent  volume  is  unlike  the  prefaces  to  former  volumes  in  the 
feries,  in  that  it  confines  itfelf  almoft  altoge^-her  to  a  treatment  of  the  fources  of  the 
text  and  of  the  dates  of  the  feffions,  and  pays  only  the  moft  general  attention  to  the 
contents  of  the  text,  whereas  in  former  volumes  a  fetting  forth  in  a  connedled  way  of 
fome  of  the  more  important  tranfaftions  of  the  Houfe  was  the  main  objecft  of  the  prefaces. 
So  far  as  the  prefent  volume  is  concerned,  fuch  a  preface  could  not  be  written  except  for 
thofe  few  affemblies  for  which  the  excerpts  from  the  original  Journals  are  of  fome  length, 
and  in  thefe  cafes  the  excerpts  tell  the  ftory  clearly  enough  to  make  a  retelling  of  it 
fuperfiuous.  As  for  the  papers  of  the  various  affemblies,  it  has  been  felt  by  the  editor 
that  an  attempt  to  give  in  this  Preface  an  adequate  difcuffion  of  their  contents  would, 
if  it  were  to  be  carried  to  a  fuccefsful  conclufion,  refult  in  the  writing  of  a  hiftory  of  the 
period  covered,  which  would  fcarcely  be  advifable  in  a  preface.  If  advifable,  it  would 
not  be  poffible  to  add  much  to  what  has  already  been  done  along  this  line.  3 

This  voltune  contains,  alfo,  a  general  index  to  the  feries,  made  up  of  the  indexes  of 
the  refpedtive  voliimes,  thrown  together  after  having  been  fomewhat  revifed.  The  feries 
has  been  printed  in  an  inverted  chronological  order,  and  no  volume  number  has  been  put 
on  any  volume,  but  in  place  of  this  the  inclufive  dates  of  the  material  to  be  found  therein. 
Confequently,  in  the  general  index  the  references  to  the  volumes  are  made  by  means 
of  thefe  inclufive  dates,  they  being  printed  in  heavy  type. 

When  the  volumes  of  the  feries  are  coUedled  on  a  fhelf,  it  is  fuggefted  that  they  be 
put  in  their  chronological  order,  rather  than  in  the  order  in  which  they  have  been  pub- 
lifhed.  This  will  throw  the  index  volume  firft,  but  will  remedy  the  impreffion  bovmd 
to  be  made  by  the  other  arrangement  of  moving  in  an  unnatural  way  backwards.  It  is 
believed  that  this  arrangement  will  reduce  to  a  minimum  the  awkwardnef s  refulting  from 
the  method  of  publifhing,  a  method  chofen  becaufe  it  was  known  at  the  ftart  what 
Journals  of  the  later  period  could  be  found  for  publication,  but  not  known  what  Journals 
of  the  earlier  period  were  in  exiftence,  and  it  was  deemed  defirable  to  begin  the  work 
at  once.  It  may  be  added  that  this  method  has  increafed  to  no  fmall  extent  the  labor 
of  the  editors,*  and  has  caufed  the  commiffion  of  a  few  mif takes  in  ftatement  which 
otherwife  might  not  have  been  made. 

Much  of  the  material  appearing  in  this  book  has  been  printed  before,  and  wherever 
a  paper  has  appeared  in  a  publication  having  a  good  reputation  for  accuracy,  fuch,  for 
inftance,  as  Hening's  "Statutes  at  Large"  or  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and 
Biography,"  the  editor  has  not  thought  it  neceffary  to  go  beyond  thefe  to  their  fources 
in  fecuring  his  text,  but  has  entered  cheerfully  into  the  labors  of  others.  He  has,  however, 
very  frequently  gone  to  the  originals  themf elves,  as  a  reading  of  the  Preface  will  indicate . 

In  the  text  "copy"  has  been  followed  very  clofely,  and  in  order  to  do  this  in  the 
cafe  of  original  manuf cripts  a  few  fpecial  characters  have  been  tifed,  as  follows : 

c,  indicating  ti  (menconed,  for  example,  for  mentioned). 

4r,  indicating  -leman  or  -lemen  (genti,  ftanding  for  gentleman  or  gentlemen,  ufually 
the  latter). 

^,  indicating  pre  (^vent,  prevent). 

qj,  indicating  que  (annoqj,  for  annoque) 

m,  indicating  mm  (fumon,  for  fummon). 

In  general,  a  curve  over  a  letter  indicates  the  omiflion  of  a  letter  or  letters  either 
preceding  or  following  the  marked  letter. 

'  The  nfer  of  this  book  need  hardly  be  told,  however,  that  the  material  here  given  is  but  a  fmall  part  of  the 
material  ftill  unprinted  in  the  Britifh  Public  Record  Office  and  other  depofitories  which  would  throw  ftrong  light 
on  the  quef  lions  treated  in  the  papers  and  parts  of  Journals  appearing  in  the  body  of  the  book. 

'  Until  all  the  material  referred  to  in  the  preceding  note  gets  into  print,  it  does  not  feem  to  the  editor  advifable 
that  any  further  attempt  to  write  a  hiftory  of  the  period  be  made. 

*  The  firft  four  volumes  were  edited  by  Jno.  P.  Kennedy,  who  when  they  were  going  through  the  prefs  was 
librarian  of  the  Virginia  State  Library;  the  remaining  volumes  have  been  edited  by  the  prefent  librarian.

Preface. 

The  General  Affembly  of  1619. 

HIS  Affembly  is  of  peculiar  intereft  as  being  the  firft  legiflative  body  that  ever 
■  met  in  America.    The  account  of  its  proceedings  printed  in  the  prefent  volume 

-*-  is  not  the  journal  kept  by  the  clerk  of  the  General  Affembly — no  fuch  journal 

has  been  preferved,  if  written  from  day  to  day,  though  a  clerk  was  appointed — 
but  it  is  the  report  fent  home  to  the  authorities  of  the  London  Company  in  England  by 
the  fpeaker  of  the  Affembly,  John  Pory,  who  was  alfo  fecretary  of  the  Colony.  Pory's 
pofition  as  fecretary  carried  with  it  memberfhip  in  the  Council  and  confequently 
memberfhip  in  the  Affembly,  fince  this  firft  Affembly  was  compofed,  as  was  the  cafe 
in  later  times,  both  of  members  eledted  by  the  people  and  of  members  of  the  Council 
appointed  by  the  authorities  in  England.  Pory  feems  to  have  been  appointed  to  the 
pofition  of  fpeaker,  as  were  John  Twine  and  Thomas  Pierfe  to  the  pofitions  of  clerk  of  the 
General  Affembly  and  fergeant-at-arms,  refpedlively,  by  the  governor  or  by  the  governor 
and  Council,  for  the  feledtion  took  place  before  the  Burgeffes  had  become,  by  taking 
the  oath  of  fupremacy,  fully  competent  to  perform  their  duties. 

At  this  firft  meeting  of  the  General  Affembly  the  Burgeffes — two  from  each  plan- 
tation—  and  the  members  of  the  Council,  with  the  governor,  fat  together  as  one  body, 
in  which  each  member  had  one  vote,  and  queftions  were  decided  by  the  vote  of  the  major- 
ity, the  governor,  however,  having  the  power  to  veto  any  meafure  whatever.  All  this 
was  in  accordance  with  the  London  Company's  commiffion  to  Governor  Yeardley  eftab- 
lifhing  the  General  Affembly ;  and  the  body  continued  to  confif t  of  only  one  chamber  for 
the  few  years  of  the  further  exif tence  of  the  London  Company  and  pof fibly  to  a  later  time 
ftill.  By  an  extenfion  of  uf age  the  Company  applied  the  term  "borough"  to  each  area, 
whether  town,  hundred,  or  plantation,  from  which  reprefentatives  were  to  come,  and 
the  term  "burgefs"  to  each  voter  in  one  of  thefe  areas.  The  reprefentatives  in 
the  Affembly  were  called  "burgeffes"  at  the  ftart,  not  becaufe  they  were  reprefenta- 
tives, but  becaufe  they  were  citizens  and  voters  in  thefe  "boroughs,"  but  very  foon 
the  idea  of  reprefentation  became  attached  to  the  word  "burgefs,"  and  then,  the 
boroughs  of  the  company  having  gone  out  of  exiftence,  the  word  came  to  mean,  fo  far 
as  Virginia  was  concerned,  a  reprefentative  in  the  elecftive  branch  of  the  General  Affem- 
bly and  nothing  eKe.  Its  ufe  in  the  fenfe  of  a  voter  did  not  perfift.  But  as  meaning  a 
reprefentative  it  continued  in  ufe  till  the  Revolutionary  War,  though  there  was  only 
one  town  in  the  Colony.  The  reafon  for  this  was,  of  courfe,  that  the  term  was  ufed  in 
the  official  documents  of  the  later  period  and  that  thefe  followed  the  ixfage  fet  by  the 
Company,  s 

Unfortunately,  the  records  handed  down  do  not  permit  us  to  fay  at  exadlly  what 
time  the  two  claffes  of  members  began  to  fit  as  feparate  chambers;  certainly,  however, 
it  was  much  before  the  year  1680,  the  date  given  by  Beverley,  and  adopted  on  his  au- 
thority by  many  later  hiftorians.  Some  of  the  evidence  leading  to  this  conclufion  has 
been  prefented  in  the  Preface  to  the  volume  of  the  Journals  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes 
immediately  preceding  the  prefent  one.'  Additional  evidence  will  be  prefented  further 
on  in  this  Preface. 

s  See  the  commiffion  given  to  Sir  Francis  Wyatt  in  1621,  printed  in  Hening,  I,  113,  114,  which  was  almoft 
certainly  exadtly  fimilar  to  the  commiffion  given  to  Sir  George  Yeardley  in  1618,  by  virtue  of  which  the  firft  General 
Affembly  in  Virginia  was  held.  Unfortunately,  this  paper  has  been  loft.  The  firft  paper  mentioning  the  General 
Affembly  that  has  come  down  to  us  is  dated  July  24,  1 621.  It  has  the  title  "An  Ordinance  and  Conftitution  of  the 
Treafurer,  Council,  and  Company  in  England,  for  a  Council  of  State  and  General  Affembly."  It  is  printed  in 
Hening  I,  110-113.

The  fpeaker's  account  of  the  proceedings  of  this  General  Affembly  was  firft  printed 
in  1857,  in  the  "Colle6tions  of  the  New  York  Hiftorical  Society,"  with  a  preface  by 
George  Bancroft.  It  was  again  printed  in  the  "Colonial  Records  of  Virginia'"  (State 
Senate  Document,  Extra,  Richmond,  1874),  pp.  1-3 2.  The  original  is  in  the  Britifh  Public 
Record  Ofifice,  London.  The  feveral  tranfcripts  which  have  been  made  of  this  very 
interefting  document  differ  from  each  other  flightly  in  unimportant  details.  Two  of 
thefe  tranfcripts  are  at  prefent  in  the  Virginia  State  Library,  one  in  the  colledtion 
known  as  the  "McDojwW  Tranfcripts"  and  the  other  in  the  colledlion  known  as  the 
"De  Jarnette  Tranfcripts."'  The  former  of  thefe  has  been  ufed  as  the  fource  of  the  text 
printed  in  this  volume,  as  it  appears  to  be  flightly  more  accurate  than  the  De  Jarnette 
tranfcript  and  at  leaft  as  accurate  as  the  one  ufed  by  Bancroft. '^ 

The  feffions  of  this  Affembly  began  on  July  30,  and  ended  on  Auguft  4.  The  laft 
paragraph  of  the  report  fhows  that  the  Affembly  was  not  finally  diffolved,  but  was  pro- 
rogued to  the  firft  of  March,  1619/20.  Probably  it  met  at  that  time  or  a  little  later,  but 
no  account  of  the  feffion  has  been  handed  down,  though  Robert  Beverley,  indeed,  does  fay 
in  his  "Hiftory  of  Virginia"  that  an  Affembly  met  in  May,  1620,  and  in  this  ftatement 
he  is  followed  by  the  more  reliable  Stith.' 


The  General  Affembly  of  162  i. 

THE  next  Affembly  of  which  there  is  an  account  met  in  November  and  December, 
1 62 1 — probably  for  only  a  few  days — and  the  account  is  found  in  a  letter  of 
the  governor  and  Council  of  Virginia  to  the  London  Company  written  in 
January,  1621/22.  This  letter  is  printed  in  full  in  Edward  D.  Neill's  ' '  Virginia 
Company  of  London,"  pp.  274-286.  In  the  abfence  of  the  Journal  of  this  Affembly,  of 
all  documents  emanating  from  it,  and  of  fuch  a  fpecial  report  relating  to  it  as  Speaker 
Pory's  report  of  the  proceedings  of  the  Affembly  of  161 9,  it  was  thought  advifable  to 
infert  in  this  volume  fuch  parts  of  the  letter  as  refer  to  the  proceedings  of  the  Affembly. 
Thefe  are  printed  from  the  text  as  given  by  Neill,  who  copied  from  a  manufcript  in  the 
Library  of  Congrefs,  which  is  evidently  a  contemporary  copy  of  the  original — almoft 
certainly,  indeed,  the  official  copy  kept  by  the  governor  and  Council.  It  found  its  way 
to  the  Library  of  Congrefs  with  the  library  of  Thomas  Jeff  erf  on." 

1  The  firft  of  thefe  two  coUedtions  of  tranfcripts  was  made  in  i860  by  diredtionof  Col.  Angus  W.  McDonald, 
who  had  been  fent  to  England  by  the  General  Affembly  of  Virginia  to  fecure  tranfcripts  of  fuch  papers  as  he 
could  dif cover  throwing  any  light  on  the  queftion  of  the  boundary  Hne  between  Virginia  and  Maryland,  and  who, 
finding  after  this  task  had  been  accomplifhed  that  the  appropriation  made  was  not  exhaufted,  expended  the 
balance  in  fecuring  tranfcripts  of  other  important  documents  originating  in  colonial  Virginia.  Unfortunately, 
four  of  the  nine  volumes  of  tranfcripts  and  the  coUeftion  of  maps  brought  back  by  Col.  McDonald  from  England — 
the  material  bearing  more  efpecially  on  the  fubjeft  of  the  boundary  line — difappeared  from  the  Virginia  State 
Library  fome  time  after  the  occupation  of  Richmond  by  the  Federal  troops  in  April,  1865.  Confequently,  when 
in  1870  the  queftion  of  the  boundary  line  between  the  two  States  came  again  under  official  confideration,  it  was 
neceffary  that  the  documents  in  England  bearing  upon  it  fhould  be  copied  again.  This  time  the  agent  of  Virginia 
was  the  Honorable  D.  C.  De  Jarnette,  fent  over  by  the  governor  of  the  State.  Mr.  De  Jarnette,  too,  had  tran- 
fcripts made  of  important  Virginia  documents  other  than  thofe  bearing  on  the  boundary  line,  many  of  them,  indeed, 
being  duplicates  of  the  tranfcripts  in  the  four  volumes  of  the  "McDonald  Tranfcripts"  which  have  been  preferved. 

*  A  very  good  account  of  the  work  of  this  Affembly  is  contained  in  an  article  by  W.  W.  Henry  on  pp.  55  ff. 
of  Vol.  11  of  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biography."  Another  article,  going  more  fuUy  than  does  that 
of  Mr.  Henry  into  the  fignificance  of  the  cafe  of  Captain  John  Martin,  the  reprefentatives  from  whofe  plantation 
were  not  permitted  to  take  their  feats,  is  to  be  found  in  the  fame  Magazine,  Vol.  VII,  pp.  268-275,  entitled  "The 
Cafe  of  Captain  Martin,"  written  by  Alexander  Brown.  In  Alexander  Brown's  "Firft  Republic  in  America"  is 
found,  alfo,  a  very  full  account  of  the  proceedings  of  this  Affembly.  (See  "Firft  Republic  in  America,"  pp.  313-321.) 
The  introdudtory  note  written  by  George  Bancroft  to  the  Proceedings  of  the  General  Affembly  printed  in  the 
"CoUcdtions  of  the  New  York  Hiftorical  Society"  for  1857  is  alfo  excellent.  This  introdudlory  note  is  reprinted 
in  the  "Colonial  Records  of  Virginia."

The  General  Affembly  of  1623/24. 

THE  next  feffion  of  which  any  record  has  been  left,  though  probably  there  were 
feffions  held  in  the  years  1622  and  1623,  for,  according  to  the  "Ordinance  and 
Conftitution  of  the  Treafurer,  Council,  and  Company  in  England  for  a  Council 
of  State  and  General  Affembly,"  the  feffions  were  to  be  annual,  is  the  feffion 
of  1623/24,  commencing  February  16  and  ending  March  5.  This  was  a  very  important 
feffion  in  the  hiftory  of  the  Colony,  for  the  commiffioners  fent  over  by  the  Englifh 
government  to  inquire  into  the  condition  of  the  Colony  were  in  Virginia,  with  whom 
negotiations  had  to  be  carried  on,  and  papers  had  to  be  drawn  up  fetting  forth  the 
attitude  of  the  Colony  toward  the  propofed  revocation  of  the  charter  of  the  London 
Company.     The  fympathy  of  the  colonifts  was  overwhelmingly  with  the  company. 

The  fight  made  by  the  king  on  the  company  is  fully  defcribed  in  E.  D.  Neill's 
"Virginia  Company  of  London"  and  in  even  greater  detail  and  more  fatisfadlorily  in 
Alexander  Brown's  "Firft  Republic  in  America.""  All  the  papers  referred  to  by  Brown 
are  printed  in  the  prefent  volume — in  the  abfence  of  the  regular  Journal  of  the  feffion, 
which  has  been  loft — with  the  exception  of  the  laws,  which  are  to  be  found  in  Hening,  I, 
121-128.  In  addition,  there  is  printed  here  an  order  of  this  Affembly  which  feems  to 
have  been  overlooked  by  Brown — the  fecond  order  on  page  41.  This  fets  forth  the 
method  of  colledling  tobacco  for  payment  of  Mr.  John  Pountis  for  looking  after  the 
interefts  of  Virginia  before  the  king  and  Council  in  England. 

The  firft  document  of  this  Affembly  printed  in  this  volume  is  taken  from  Neill's 
"Virginia  Company  of  London"  and  the  fecond  from  Stith's  "Hiftory  of  Virginia,"  the 
original  manufcript  being  in  each  cafe  now  in  the  Library  of  Congrefs,  having  been  fecured 
by  that  library  with  the  library  of  Thomas  Jeff  erf  on.  The  next  two  documents  are 
from  the  "Bancroft  Tranfcripts,"  a  large  colledtion  of  copies  of  original  papers  in  the 
Public  Record  Office,  London,  which  George  Bancroft,  the  hiftorian,  had  made  for  his 
ufe  when  writing  his  "Hiftory  of  the  United  States,"  and  which  are  now  in  the  New  York 
Public  Library.  The  next  document  is  copied  from  the  "Colonial  Records  of  Virginia,'' 
a  printed  compilation  already  referred  to,  the  fource  of  the  text  of  which  is,  as  we  have 
feen,  tranfcripts  of  originals  in  the  Public  Record  Office.  All  the  other  documents  of 
this  feffion  are  printed  from  the  "Bancroft  Tranfcripts"  except  the  two  orders  given  on 
page  41,  which  are  from  papers  in  the  Library  of  Congrefs  evidently  contemporary  with 
the  orders  themf elves." 

This  Affembly  probably  held  another  feffion,  in  the  latter  part  of  1624,  but 
nothing  is  known  in  reference  to  it.-^

It  may  be  of  intereft  to  note  that  everywhere  in  this  volume  where  documents  have  been  printed  from  manu-

with  more  legible  copy.

Convention  of  1625. 

WHEN  the  charter  was  taken  away  from  the  London  Company  and  the  govern- 
ment of  Virginia  was  affumed  by  the  crown,  there  was  in  the  form  of 
government  devifed  no  provifion  made  for  a  reprefentative  affembly. 
Hence  no  Houfe  of  Burgeffes  could  be  legally  elefted.  However,  the 
governor  of  Virginia,  Sir  Francis  Wyatt,  and  the  Council,  were  in  favor  of  allowing 
reprefentatives  of  the  people  a  fhare  in  the  government  of  the  Colony,  although  this, 
neceffarily,  would  diminifh  their  own  power,  and  they,  accordingly,  called  together 
a  number  of  fuch  reprefentatives  to  confult  with  them  on  matters  moft  vitally  affedling 
the  Colony.    The  call  has  fortimately  been  preferved,  and  is  in  thefe  words : 

"Wheras  there  are  divers  important  occafiones,  W""  hereby  conceme  the  generall 
Eftate  of  y''  Colony,  Thefe  are  y*  you  cale  together  all  the  fremen  of  y*  plantac'  vnder 
your  Comand  And  by  the  maior  p'tie  of  y*  voyt  [voice]  to  ele6t  two  of  y=  moft  Sufficient 
vppon  whofe  Judgements  the  reft  wilbe  Contented  to  rely  y*  they  Appere  at  James 
Cyitie  the  loth  of  Maye  next  enfuinge,  where  we  hope  the  bufinefs  wUl  not  detain  them 
aboue  three  or  fower  dyes." 

This  call  was  iffued  at  a  meeting  of  the  governor  and  Council  held  the  2Sth  of 
April,  1625,  and  was  diredled  to  the  commander  of  each  plantation." 

To  the  gathering  which  came  together  purfuant  to  this  call,  prefumably  on  the 
loth  of  May,  the  term  "Convention"  has  been  applied.  The  paper  drawn  up  by  it, 
preferved  in  the  Britijh  Public  Record  Office,  has  been  given  a  place  in  this  book  among 
the  papers  of  the  General  Affembly,  though,  technically  fpeaking,  it  has  no  title  to  be 
placed  here.  It  is  a  petition  to  the  king,  and  fhows  clearly  the  wifh  of  the  people  of 
Virginia  to  be  allowed  to  have  a  reprefentative  affembly  and  their  objedlion  to  the 
king's  making  a  monopoly  of  the  tobacco  trade.  The  monopoly  was  fpoken  of  by  them 
as  "the  late  pemitious  contradl."  The  Convention  probably  did  nothing  beyond 
drawing  up  this  petition  to  the  king  and  elecfting  Sir  George  Yeardley,  former  governor, 
as  the  agent  of  the  Colony  to  proceed  to  England  and  prefent  it  to  his  majefty." 

There  may  have  been  other  conventions  held  in  the  time  intervening  between  the 
affumption  of  the  government  by  the  crown  and  the  allowance  of  general  affemblies 
by  the  crown — in  the  latter  part  of  1627- — but  no  definite  records  of  them  have  been 
preferved. 

General  Affembly  of  1627/28. 

THE  firft  General  Affembly  of  Virginia  which  met  after  the  revocation  of  the 
charter  was  called  together  at  the  exprefs  command  of  the  king  in  March 
1627/28.  The  date  of  the  moft  important  paper  drawn  up  by  the  General 
Affembly  is  March  26,  1628,  and  it  is  a  paper  of  fuch  length  and  deals  princi- 
pally with  a  queftion  of  fuch  great  importance  to  the  Colony  that  feveral  days  muft 
have  been  confumed  in  its  drafting  and  confideration.  It  feems  fafe  to  fay,  then,  that 
the  Affembly  met  fome  days  before  March  25,  and,  accordingly,  in  the  year  1627  (old 
ftyle). 

As  ufual  for  this  early  period,  the  Journal  has  been  loft.  At  the  fame  time,  no 
laws  or  orders  paffed  at  this  feffion  have  been  preferved.  The  papers  that  have  come 
down,  however,  are  extremely  interefting,  and  the  laft  one  printed  in  this  book,  namely, 
the  commiffion  of  the  General  Affembly  to  Sir  Francis  Wyatt,  Mr.  Edward  Bennett,  and 
Mr.  Michael  Mar/hart,  diredling  them  to  take  care  in  England  of  the  interefts  of  the 
planters  of  Virginia  in  the  matter  of  the  monopoly  of  the  trade  in  tobacco,  which  the

king  wifhed  to  take  to  himfelf,  feems  to  have  been  overlooked  heretofore  by  writers 
on  this  period  of  Virginia  hiftory.  The  commiffion  is  here  printed,  for  the  firft  time, 
from  a  contemporary  copy — evidently  the  original  official  copy  kept  in  Virginia — in 
the  Library  of  Congrefs.  Since  it  is  not  a  paper  directed  to  the  officials  in  England,  no 
copy  of  it  is,  of  courfe,  in  the  Britifh  Public  Record  Office.  Of  the  other  papers  of  the 
feflion,  there  are  copies  both  in  the  Public  Record  Office  and  in  the  Library  of  Congrefs, 
thofe  in  the  former  repofitory  being  the  adlual  official  papers  fent  to  England  and  thofe 
in  the  latter  the  official  copies  kept  in  Virginia.  The  text  given  in  this  book  follows  the 
copies  in  the  Public  Record  Office — or,  more  immediately,  the  "Bancroft  Tranfcripts. " 
It  was  owing  to  the  defire  of  the  king  to  monopolize  the  trade  in  tobacco,  and  to 
his  thought  that  this  could  be  probably  more  thoroughly  effedled  by  a  law  paffed  by  the 
reprefentatives  of  the  planters  than  by  a  proclamation,  that  the  General  Affembly  was 
ordered  to  be  convened.  The  Affembly,  however,  was  by  no  means  inclined  to  accede 
to  the  king's  terms. ■« 


General  Affembly  of  1629. 


1 


THE  Affembly  of  1629  began  its  meeting  the  i6th  of  Odoher,  as  is  diftincflly  ftated 
in  the  manufcript  which  is  the  final  fource  of  the  text,  but  it  cannot  be  faid 
how  long  the  feffion  continued,  fmce  no  further  date  is  given.  The  proceedings 
of  this  Affembly  are  printed  in  Hening,  and  from  Hening  the  text  in  this  book 
has  been  copied.  This  procefs  was  much  fimpler  than  to  have  a  copy  of  the  original 
made.  And  it  has  not,  it  is  believed,  impaired  the  authenticity  or  accuracy  of  the  text, 
for  a  careful  comparifon  of  Hening  with  the  original  manufcript  in  the  Library  of 
Congrefs"  was  made  by  the  editor  of  this  volume,  and  Hening's  accuracy  found  to  be 
moft  commendable.  In  fadt,  Hening  now  has  a  better  text  than  the  Library  of  Congrefs 
manufcript,  for  the  reafon  that  that  manufcript,  faded  and  frayed  and  defedlive  in 
Hening's  time,  is  now  in  even  worfe  condition,  one  hundred  years  and  more  having 
elapfed  fmce  Hening's  vie  of  it.  In  one  refpe(5l,  however,  the  prefent  text  is  clofer  to 
the  original  than  is  the  text  in  Hening:  the  chapter  headings  inferted  by  Hening  have 
been  dif carded. 

Hening  was  inclined  to  think  that  he  was  printing  the  proceedings,  or  Journal,  of  the 
Affembly,  rather  than  the  adls,  for  he  fays  as  much  on  page  139  of  Vol.  I ;  ftill  he  inferted, 
"for  the  convenience  of  reference,"  he  fays,  the  words  "adl  i,"  "adt  2,"  etc.,  at  the 
beginning  of  the  paragraphs  of  the  manufcript  when  printed.  The  proceedings  are  not, 
however,  claimed  to  be  a  true  Journal.  They  are,  rather,  fimilar  to  the  report  of  the 
proceedings  of  the  firft  Affembly  made  by  John  Pory.  The  lift  of  members  of  the 
Affembly  is  not  printed  in  this  book  in  connection  with  the  proceedings,  but  is  given 
with  the  other  lifts  of  members  in  the  front  part  of  the  book. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  at  this  time  the  members  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes  and  the 
members  of  the  Council,  with  the  governor,  ftill  fat  together.  The  wording  of  the 
proceedings  all  the  way  through  fhows  this  beyond  a  doubt.

General  Affembly  of  1629/30. 

THIS  Affembly  met  the  24th  oi March,  1629/30,  and  continued  in  feffion  certainly 
for  feveral  days,  but  for  how  many  it  is  impoffible  to  fay.  No  record  of  the 
Affembly  has  been  preferved  other  than  that  printed  as  Adls  of  Affembly  in 
Hening,  I,  147-153,  from  a  manufcript  now  in  the  Library  of  Congrefs. 
At  this  early  date  the  art  of  keeping  journals  and  drawing  up  laws  was  not  highly  devel- 
oped. The  journals  of  the  daily  proceedings,  if  written  out,  were  probably  confidered  of 
little  permanent  importance,  and  confequently  were  foon  loft.  The  important  thing  was 
to  keep  a  record  of  the  refults  adlually  attained,  that  is,  the  petitions  and  other  papers 
drawn  up,  and  the  a<5ls  and  orders  paffed,  and  there  was  at  the  ftart  little  diftin(5lion,  if 
any,  between  thefe  two  kinds  of  enactments.  Indeed,  in  the  early  days  the  formula  "it 
is  ordered"  or  "it  is  thought  fit"  ufually  appears  in  the  cafe  of  all  enadtments,  variations, 
however,  being  met  with.  It  was  not  until  the  1643/44  feffion,  if  we  may  venture  on  a 
ftatement  from  the  infufficient  material  left,  that  the  form  "it  is  enadted,"  or  "be  it 
enadled,"  became  eftablifhed  as  the  normal  form  for  ufe  in  an  adl,  or  law,  "it  is  ordered" 
having  been  referved  for  ufe  in  orders. 

The  defign  of  the  writer  of  the  manufcript  from  which  Hening  copied  what  is  given 
on  pp.  147-153  of  his  firft  volume — and  this  writer  was  probably  the  clerk  of  the  Affem- 
bly, for  if  the  manufcript  is  not  the  original  official  record,  it  is  certainly  a  contemporary 
copy  and  one  probably  made  by  the  clerk — was  to  preferve  what  we  fhould  now  call  the 
Adts  of  Affembly  and  not  the  Journal  of  the  Houfe,  or,  as  it  would  have  been  at  that 
time,  there  being  only  one  chamber,  Journal  of  the  General  Affembly.  For  this  reafon 
the  material  is  not  printed  in  this  volume,  though  it  muft  be  admitted  that  fome  of  it 
bears  a  clofe  refemblance  to  journal  material.  It  muft  be  admitted,  aKo,  that  the  line 
of  demarcation  between  the  material  for  this  feffion  and  that  for  the  feffion  before,  print- 
ed in  this  volume,  is  but  faint.  However,  from  this  time  on  the  wording  of  the  adls  be- 
comes more  and  more  expert,  and  lefs  and  lefs  matter  of  a  joumaliftic  nature  appears. 
Beginning  with  the  prefent  feffion  the  enactments  given  by  Hening  as  adls  will  not  be 
found  printed  in  this  volume — with  one  or  two  exceptions  where  Hening  is  in  error  in 
claffification,  or  where  the  paper,  though  called  an  adt  by  the  Affembly,  was  in  reality 
defigned  to  be  fomething  in  addition.  ■« 

Grand  Affembly  of  1631/32. 

THIS  Affembly  met  the  21ft  of  February, 167,1/ 2,2,  and  continued  in  feffion  through 
the  fixth  of  March.  The  adls  of  the  feffion  are  all  given  in  Hening,  I,  155-177, 
and  no  Journal  has  been  handed  down.  The  manufcript,  however,  containing 
the  adls  differs  from  other  fimilar  manufcripts,  in  that  it  gives  the  different  days 
on  which  the  various  adts  were  paffed,  and  alfo  the  day  of  adjournment.  This  has  made 
it  poffible  to  give  the  limiting  dates  of  the  feffion.  The  manufcript,  alfo,  has  the  two 
following  ftatements  of  a  joumaliftic  nature  inferted  juft  after  the  lift  of  names  of  the 
Burgeffes  and  before  the  adls: 

"The  oathes  of  fupremacy  and  allegiance  were  in  the  firft  place  adminiftered  to  the 
Governor  and  Councell  and  to  all  the  above  named  burgeffes  in  like  manner. 

In  the  aftemoone. 
"The  Commiffion  from  his  majeftie  nowe  in   force  was  read  before  the  whole 
bodie  of  the  Affembly." 

This  is  the  laft  manufcript  containing  the  Adls  of  Affembly  that  has  in  it  fentences 
of  the  charadler  quoted  above. 

■*  See  pp.  66-69. 


[  xxxiii  ] 

That  the  Council  and  the  Burgeffes  ftill  fat  together  appears  from  the  word- 
ing of  Adl  XVIII,  in  reference  to  attendance  on  divine  fervices,  which  is,  in  part:  "It  is 
ordered,  that  all  the  Counfell  and  burgiffes  of  the  affembly  fhall,  in  the  mominge,  be 
prefent  at  devine  fervice,  in  the  roome  where  they  fit,  at  the  third  beatinge  of  the 
drum,     *     *     *     - 

However,  the  Burgeffes  were  certainly  developing  an  independent  confcioufnefs, 
for  the  one  document  of  the  feffion  handed  down  to  us — probably  the  only  one  drawn 
up — was  the  work  of  the  Burgeffes  alone,  the  governor  and  Council  writing  one  of  their 
own  bearing  on  the  fame  fubjeft  and  directed  to  the  fame  body.  The  paper  of  the  Bur- 
geffes is  given  on  pages  55  and  56  of  this  volume;  that  of  the  governor  and  Council,  in 
the  Appendix. 

Thefe  two  papers  are  defignated,  the  one  as  the  petition  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes 
and  the  other  as  the  letter  of  the  governor  and  Council  to  the  Privy  Council."  This, 
on  further  confideration,  feems  to  be  an  error.  They  were,  more  probably,  diredled  to 
the  commiffioners  appointed  by  the  Privy  Council  the  latter  part  of  June, 16^  i ,  to  inquire 
into  Virginia  affairs."  They  are,  however,  in  the  "Randolph  Manufcript"  and  the 
"Bland  Manufcript"  taken  to  have  been  diredted  to  the  Privy  Coimcil — that  is,  the  only 
one  of  them  (the  petition  of  the  Burgeffes)  of  which  an  abftra(5l  is  given  in  thefe  manu- 
fcripts,  is  fo  affigned." 

Inftead  of  the  term  "General  Affembly,"  "Grand  Affembly"  makes  its  appearance 
for  the  firft  time  at  this  feffion,  a  term  to  remain  in  ufe  till  the  feffion  held  in  1680. 
There  feems  to  be  no  fpecial  reafon  for  the  change,  the  two  terms  being  exaftly  fynon- 
ymous.  It  happened,  however,  that  the  paper  authorizing  Governor  Harvey  to  call 
legiflative  affemblies  ufed  the  term  "Grand  Affembly,""  which  ufage  was  followed  in 
England  until  1680  and  confequently  in  Virginia.  In  fa(5t,  Harvey's  firft  Affembly,  that 
held  in  March,  1629/30,  fhould  on  this  principle  have  been  called  the  "Grand  Affembly," 
but  the  clerk  made  the  miftake  of  ufmg  the  defignation  "General  Affembly"  up  to  that 
time  in  vogue. 

■»  Both  are  printed  from  the  original  records,  now  in  the  Library  of  Congrers.

"  The  "Bland  Manufcript"  is  a  large  bound  volume  of  tranfcripts  and  abftratSls  of  early  Virginia  records. 
The  originals  having  in  many  inftances  been  loft,  this  manufcript  is  an  extremely  valuable  fource  of  Virginia 
hiftory.  The  copies  and  abftradts  were  made  about  the  year  1722,  probably  by  a  clerk  in  the  fecretary's  office, 
for  Sir  John  Randolph,  who  had  under  contemplation  the  writing  of  a  hiftory  of  Virginia,  but  who  died  before  he 
could  carry  his  purpofe  into  execution.  It  has,  however,  been  ufed  by  Stith,  Burk,  Hening,  Campbell,  and  more 
recent  workers  in  Virginia  hiftory.  Hening  gave  the  volume  the  title,  by  which  it  has  fince  been  known,  of  the 
"Bland  Manufcript,"  becaufe  at  the  death  of  Richard  Bland,  the  "Virginia  Antiquary,"  it  was  in  his  library. 
It  was  purchafed  by  Thomas  Jeflerfon,  and  with  moft  of  Jefferfon's  library,  foimd  its  way  finally  to  the  Library 
of  Congrefs,  where  it  is  today. 

The  "Randolph  Manufcript,"  fo  called  becaufe  it  was  at  one  time  owned  by  John  Randolph,  of  Roanoke, 
is  now  the  property  of  the  Virginia  Hiftorical  Society.  It  is  an  eighteenth  century  copy  of  the  "Bland  Manufcript," 
made  by  an  expert  copyift,  who  did  his  work  well,  though  fome  unimportant  mif takes  have,  indeed,  been  dif covered. 

When  the  prefent  volume  of  "Journals  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes"  comes  from  the  prefs,  all  the  material  in 
the  "Bland  Manufcript"  will,  it  is  thought,  have  been  publifhed.  Stith,  in  the  appendix  to  his  "Hiftory  of  the 
Firft  Difcovery  and  Settlement  of  Virginia,"  Williamfburg,  1747,  made  a  beginning  of  publication,  and  this  work 
has  been  going  on,  intermittently,  ever  fince.  The  laws,  moft  of  the  orders,  and  many  of  the  paragraphs  copied, 
either  in  extenfo  or  by  abftradl,  from  the  early  Journals  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes,  were  printed  by  Hening,  and 
fuch  of  this  material  as  Hening  failed  to  include,  with  the  longer  papers  not  elfewhere  printed,  has  been,  with  a  few 
exceptions,  printed  in  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biography."  The  immediate  fource  of  the  text  of 
the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biography"  was,  however,  the  "Randolph  Manufcript."

"  In  neither  Harvey's  commiffion  nor  firft  fet  of  inftruftions  is  the  penniffion  to  call  a  reprefentative  affembly

inftruftions  in  the  fame  magazine,  VII,  267.  In  the  inftrudtions,  however,  is  the  following  fentence:  "We  doe 
likewife  promife  hereby  to  renewe  and  confirme  unto  the  faid  CoUonies  under  our  greate  Scale  of  Englande  their 
landes  and  priviledges  formerlie  graunted,"  and  in  inftruftions  iffued  later  the  governor  is  fpecifically  authorized 
to  call  a  reprefentative  affembly,  "Grand  Affembly"  being  the  term  ufed.  See  the  "Calendar  of  State  Papers,

Seffions  of  the  Grand  AfTembly  Held  in  the 
Period  1632-1637. 

SESSIONS  were  held  during  this  period  almoft  every  year,  but  about  fome  of  them 
very  little  is  known.  For  the  feffion  which  began  the  fourth  of  September,  1632 — 
the  date  of  its  clofe  is  not  known — the  laws  are  given  in  Hening,  I,  178-202,  from 
the  original  records,  referred  to  above,  now  in  the  Library  of  Congrefs.  It  is 
alfo  known  that  this  Affembly  took  depofitions  as  to  the  charadler  of  the  government 
of  the  Colony  under  the  Virginia  Company  of  London,'^  but  the  records  have  been  loft. 
The  laws  paffed  by  the  Affembly  at  its  feffion  beginning  the  firft  of  February 
1632/33  are  printed  in  Hening,  I,  202-209.  This  Affembly  held  a  fecond  feffion,  which 
began  the  21ft  of  Auguft,  1633,  and  the  laws  paffed  at  this  feffion  are  printed  on  pages 
209-222  of  Vol.  I  of  Hening.'*  That  this  was  the  fecond  feffion  of  the  Affembly  that 
met  in  its  firft  feffion  in  February,  1 63  2  /3  3 ,  rather  than  the  firft  feffion  of  a  new  Affembly, 
is  inferred  from  the  fa(5l  that  the  manufcript  does  not  give  before  the  text  of  the  laws 
the  names  of  the  members  of  the  Grand  Affembly,  as  is  done  elfewhere  in  this  manufcript 
and  in  others  giving  laws.  It  was  cuftomary  in  thefe  manufcripts  to  give  the  names  of 
the  members  of  the  General  Affembly  whenever  a  new  Affembly  was  convened,  but  not 
when  an  old  Affembly  met  in  a  new  feffion.  It  muft  be  remembered  that  copies  of  the 
laws  paffed  at  each  feffion  were  fent  to  the  various  counties  of  the  Colony— one  copy 
to  each  county.  Though  furprifingly  few  of  thefe  are  now  in  exiftence,  a  fufficient 
number  are  left  to  fhow  what  muft  have  been  the  cuftom  in  this  refpeft,  certainly  in 
later  times.  It  is  poffible,  of  courfe,  that  the  ftatement  cannot  be  made  with  certainty 
for  a  time  as  early  as  1633. 

According  to  an  abftradl  in  the  "Bland  Manufcript"  and  in  the  "Randolph  Manu- 
fcript," printed  in  Hening,  I,  223,  and  in  the  "  Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and 
Biography,"  XIII,  391,  a  meeting  of  the  Affembly  was  held  in  1634.  The  month  is  not 
given.  The  abftracft  has  to  do  with  the  hours  of  attendance  of  the  fecretary  of  the  Colony 
in  his  office.  At  this  meeting,  alfo,  the  Burgeffes  drew  up  a  petition  to  the  king  arguing 
againft  a  propofal  from  his  majefty  that  he  make  a  monopoly  of  the  tobacco  trade,  but 
no  copy  of  this  paper  has  come  down,  owing  to  the  fadt  that  the  governor,  the  autocratic 
Sir  John  Harvey,  at  this  time  riding  for  a  fall  and  the  next  year  "thruft  from  his 
government,"  would  not  forward  it  to  the  home  authorities,  and  the  fecretary  of  the 
Colony  and  the  clerk  of  the  Affembly  were  afraid  to  give  out  attef ted  copies. «  The  titles 
of  feveral  of  the  other  a(5ls  paffed  at  this  feffion  are  alfo  known  from  a  fedtion  of  Adl 
XXXVIII  of  the  feffion  of  1641/42,  which  is  as  follows: 

"That  one  Adt  made  in  the  yeare  1634  requiringe  noe  wine  nor  ftronge  waters  to  be 
fould  w'thout  lifence;  That  one  Adt  made  An"  1634  comandinge  plantinge  of  vines;  That 
one  Adl  made  in  An°  1634  in  forceing  noe  gould  nor  filver  to  bee  wome  on  apparell  but 
by  Counfellors  and  there  wives;  That  one  Adl  made  in  An°  1634  bindinge  feamen  not 
to  trade  here  goods  w'thout  reddye  pay;  That  one  Adl  made  in  An°  1634  entitled  a 
reftraint  from  plantinge;  That  one  Adl  An°  1634  comandinge  Left.  Popeley  to  make 
good  the  Middle  plantation;  That  one  A(5t  made  in  An°  1634  requiringe  an  office  to  bee 
built  for  the  Secretary,  bee  from  henceforth  repealed." 

The  laws  for  this  feffion  of  1641/42,  from  which  the  above  is  quoted,  were  not 
found  by  Hening.  Many  of  them  have,  however,  been  printed  in  the  "Virginia  Maga- 
zine of  Hiftory  and  Biography,"  IX,  52-59.  The  preceding  paragraph  is  to  be  found  on 
page  57- 

"  See  p.  66  of  the  prefent  volume.

[  XXXV  ] 

An  Affembly  probably  convened  on  the  20th  of  February,  1634/35,  for  Governor 
Harvey  in  a  letter  dated  January  27,  1634/5,  to  Secretary  Windebank,  faid  that  one  had 
been  called  for  that  date,"  but  nothing  is  known  as  to  its  proceedings. 

On  the  7  th  of  May,  1635,  an  Affembly  came  together  to  receive  complaints  againft 
Governor  Harvey."  This  Affembly  was  called  together  by  the  Council  and  not  by  the 
governor  and  Council,  and  when  it  met,  the  governor,  now  pradlically  a  prifoner,  fent 
a  letter  ftating  that  the  meeting  was  illegal  and  ordering  that  it  be  dif continued.  This 
order,  however,  was  not  obeyed.  The  Council  proceeded  to  the  eleAion  of  a  fucceffor 
for  Harvey,  and  the  Burgeffes  were  called  on  to  ratify  the  choice.  This  was  done  with 
enthufiafm.  The  Affembly  then  drew  up  a  paper  directed  to  the  Lords  Commiffioners 
of  Plantations,  the  body  in  England  then  having  charge  of  Colonial  affairs,  in  which 
was  given  a  catalogue  of  Harvey's  mifdeeds  as  governor.  This  paper  has  not  come  down 
to  us.  It  happened  that  Governor  Harvey  went  to  England  in  the  fame  fhip  which  con- 
veyed Thomas  Harwood,  the  bearer  of  the  paper;  and  as  foon  as  a  landing  was  made  at 
Plymouth,  he  prevailed  on  the  mayor  of  the  city  to  have  the  paper,  with  others,  taken 
from  Harwood  and  delivered  to  him.  He  then  went  on  his  way  rejoicing  to  London, 
where  he  fecured  an  order  reftoring  him  to  his  government.'* 

Another  Affembly  convened  in  February,  1635/6,  and  paffed  a(5ls  only  a  reference 
to  one  of  which  has  been  preferved,  in  a  letter  written  by  the  governor  and  Council  in 
i638(?)  to  the  authorities  in  England.  This  acfl  was  one  for  ref training  exceffive  pur- 
chafes  of  wine,  and  the  governor  and  Council  in  i638(?)  wrote  that  it  ought  to  be 
revived." 

On  the  20th  of  February,  1636/7,  an  Affembly  met  and  paffed  a  good  many  laws,  but 
only  one  of  thefe  has  been  preferved,  namely,  the  20th  adl  of  the  feffion,  the  objeft  of 
which  was  to  eredl  an  office  the  holder  of  which  fhould  keep  a  regifter  of  all  tobacco  and 
other  commodities  exported.  This  was  the  firft  Affembly  held  by  Governor  Harvey 
after  his  return  to  Virginia  as  governor. 3»  In  a  paragraph  of  A(5l  XXXVIII,  however, 
of  the  1641/42  feffion  feveral  other  adls  of  this  feffion  are  mentioned.  The  paragraph 
is  as  follows : 

"That  one  Ac5l  made  in  An°  1636  for  wine  and  mulberry  trees;  That  one  adl  made 
in  An°  1636  giveinge  lib 'tie  for  attached  goods  to  bee  prayfed  and  fould;  That  one  Adl

Grand  Aflembly  of  1637/8. 

THIS  Affembly  met  in  February,  1637/38,  and  remained  in  feffion  certainly  for 
fome  time,  fmce  important  bufinefs  was  tranfadled,  but  the  exadt  time  carmot 
be  ftated.  The  adls  paffed  by  this  Affembly  have  not  been  handed  down, 
but  that  one  of  thefe  had  for  its  objeft  the  regulation  of  both  the  quality  and 
quantity  of  tobacco  raifed  in  Virginia,  is  learned  from  a  letter  written  by  governor 
Harvey  to  Secretary  Windebank  dated  March  22,  1638.3'  At  leaft  two  other  a(5ls  of  the 
feffion,  with  the  one  referred  to  by  Governor  Harvey  are  mentioned  in  Adl  XXXVIII  of 
the  feffion  of  164 1/2,  in  the  following  paragraph: 

"That  one  A(?t  made  in  the  yeare  1637  for  regulatinge  of  Toba.;  That  one  A(5l 
made  in  the  yeare  1637  requiringe  younge  freemen  to  feat  Chickahontiny ;  That  one  Adt 
made  in  An°  1637  reftrayninge  Inholders  to  fell  ftrong  waters,  be  repealed."" 

The  fulleft  account  of  the  proceedings  of  this  Affembly  is  to  be  found  in  the  letter 
written  by  Richard  Kemp,  fecretary  of  Virginia,  to  Secretary  Windebank,  dated  April  6, 
1638,  with  which  he  fent  the  five  documents  of  the  Affembly  printed  in  this  volume. 
This  letter,  on  account  of  its  importance,  is  printed  in  the  Appendix  of  this  volume. 

Of  the  five  documents"  of  the  Affembly,  one  contains  the  proportions  made  by  the 
king  to  the  General  Affembly,  efpecially  in  regard  to  tobacco,  of  which  the  king  wifhed 
to  make  a  monopoly.  It  will  be  feen  from  Secretary  Kemp's  letter  that  the  governor 
did  not  communicate  thefe  proportions  in  a  fpeech  to  the  Affembly  at  the  beginning  of 
the  feffion,  as  would  have  been  done  later,  but  that  this  duty  was  performed  by  Secretary 
Kemp  himfelf.  We  have  no  means  of  knowing  whether  at  this  early  date  it  was  the 
cuftom  for  the  governor  to  open  the  feffions  of  the  Affembly  with  a  fpeech,  outlining 
the  work  to  be  done,  but  prefumably  it  was. 

Three  of  the  other  four  documents  are  the  work  of  the  Burgeffes,  and  one  proceeds 
from  the  governor  and  Council.  There  is  no  paper  of  the  whole  Affembly.  The  docu- 
ments prefent  to  our  view  the  fight,  later  to  become  fo  familiar,  of  the  governor  and 
Council  in  a(5live  fupport  of  the  propofitions  fent  over  and  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes  in 
determined  oppofition.  It  fhould  be  remembered,  in  explanation  of  this  fituation,  that 
the  members  of  the  Council  who  had  taken  part  in  the  expulfion  of  Sir  John  Harvey  fiom 
the  government  more  than  two  years  before  this  had  been  depofed  from  office  and 
others  put  in  their  places.  The  Council  was  at  this  time  thoroughly  under  the  control 
of  the  governor. 

Both  the  wording  of  thefe  papers  and  the  fa(5t  that  they  are  communications  paffing 
between  the  governor  and  Council  on  one  fide  and  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes  on  the  other 
feem  to  fhow  that  by  this  time  the  two  chambers  fat  feparately.  It  may  be,  however, 
that  in  the  tranfa(5lion  of  routine  bufinefs  and  in  the  paffing  of  laws  the  members  of  the 
Council,  the  governor,  and  the  members  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes  all  fat  together,  as 
formerly,  but  that  for  this  important  matter,  in  reference  to  which  the  two  claffes  of 
members  were  folidly — fo  far  as  it  appears — oppofed  to  each  other,  it  was  thought  beft 
that  at  leaft  a  temporary  feparation  fhould  take  place.

Grand  Affembly  of  1639. 

THAT  an  Affembly  met  in  Odoher,  1639,  is  fhown  by  Aa  XXIX  of  the  Affembly 
of  January,  1639/40,  the  abridgment  of  which  given  in  Hening  is  as  follows: 
"The  a(5t  of  2 2d  8br.  laft  concerning  burgiffes  charges  repealed,  and  the 
adl  in  1636  revived  inftead  thereof."js    It  is  alfo  fhown  by  a  paragraph  of 
Adl  XXXVIII  of  the  1641/42  feffion,  which  is  as  follows: 

"That  one  Adl  made  in  An°  1639  entitled  an  Adl  for  Contradl  for  fraight;  That  one 
Adl  made  in  An°  1639  ratinge  and  vallewinge  Tobaccoe;  That  one  Adl  made  in  An"  1639 
giveinge  lib'tie  to  tranfporte  Cattle,  bee  repealed. "i«  It  is  alfo  fhown  by  Adl  LX  of  the 
feffion  of  1642/3.    This  is,  in  fadl,  the  adl  of  1639  re-enadled." 

It  was  probably  at  this  feffion,  too,  that  George  Sandys  was  appointed  agent  for  the 
Colony  to  attempt  to  fecure  a  change  in  the  form  of  government,  fince  1639  is  the  year 
given  in  a  paper  drawn  up  by  the  1641/42-42  Affembly."  It  is  barely  poffible,  however, 
that  the  Affembly  referred  to  may  have  been  the  1639/40  Affembly.  Unfortunately, 
the  inftrudlions  given  Sandys  have  not  been  preferved. 


Grand  Affembly  of  1639/40. 


THIS  Affembly  met  the  6th  of  January,  1639/40,  and  paffed  at  leaft  thirty-four 
adls,  but  no  record  of  the  proceedings  of  the  Affembly  has  been  handed  down, 
nor  has  any  document  drawn  up  by  it  been  preferved.    Hening"  gives  abftradts 
of  the  adls,  copied  from  the  "Bland  Manufcript;"  and  in  the  "Virginia

[  xxxviii  ] 
Grand  Affembly  of  1641/42-42. 

THIS  Affembly  met  the  12th  of  January,  1641/42,  and  continued  in  feffion  for 
fome  time— exacftly  how  long,  it  is  not  poffible  to  fay — when  it  was  adjourned 
to  the  firft  of  April.*'  During  the  firft  period  of  its  adlivity  there  were  paffed 
the  laws  printed  on  pp.  52-59  of  Vol.  IX  of  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory 
and  Biography" — none  of  thefe  laws  is  printed  in  Hening — and  other  laws  which  have 
not  been  found,  and  a  great  deal  of  time  was  fpent  in  the  difcuffion  of  other  matters, 
efpecially  of  the  moft  important  one,  probably,  of  the  feffion,  namely,  the  queftion  of 
the  renewal  of  the  charter  of  the  London  Company,  then  being  agitated  in  England  and 
Virginia.  This  much  may  be  inferred  from  the  laft  a6t  paffed  at  that  time,  that  is, 
Adt  XL,  which  was  the  adl  adjourning  the  Affembly  to  the  firft  of  April,  and  from  the 
fa(5l  that  the  paper  expreffmg  the  final  conclufions  of  the  Affembly  on  the  fubjedl, 
printed  in  this  book  on  pp.  66-69,"  was  ordered  to  be  entered  as  the  21ft  adl  of  the 
feffion.  This  feems  to  indicate  that  the  other  laws  of  the  firft  part  of  the  feffion  were 
all  completed  through  Adl  XL — though  copies  of  Adls  II-XXX,  with  the  exception  of 
this  Adl  XXI,  have  not  been  preferved — and  that  it  was  thought  beft,  fo  far  as  this  very 
important  one  was  concerned,  to  await  the  arrival  of  the  new  governor.  Sir  William 
Berkeley,  fhortly  expedled.  The  paper  is,  primarily,  a  ftatement  of  the  reafons  why 
the  majority  in  the  Affembly  did  not  favor  the  rechartering  of  the  London  Company  or 
any  fimilar  company,  but  it  is  alfo  a  law,  in  that  it  was  ordered  to  be  recorded  as  fuch 
and  in  that  the  laft  two  paragraphs  contain  real  enadlments,  prefcribing  punifhment 
for  any  who  might  in  the  future  endeavor  to  have  a  company  chartered  for  the  govern- 
ment of  Virginia,  and  adjourning  the  feffion  again  till  the  fecond  of  June. 

The  formal  adoption  of  this  important  paper  feems  to  have  been  the  only  bufmefs 
tranfadled  at  the  April  meeting  of  the  Affembly.  Only  twenty-one  Burgeffes  figned  it, 
prefumably,  however,  the  full  memberfhip  of  the  Houfe  prefent.  At  this  time  the  coun- 
ties were  allowed  reprefentation  in  proportion,  roughly  fpeaking,  to  their  population, 
and  the  total  memberfhip  of  the  Houfe,  from  the  ten  counties  and  one  town  in  the 
Colony,  was  about  thirty-fix." 

At  the  January  meeting  of  the  Affembly  now  under  confideration  there  were  thirty 
members  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes  prefent,  of  whom  nine  were  from  James  City.  A 
comparifon  of  the  lift  of  members  prefent  in  April  with  the  lift  of  thofe  prefent  in 
January  fhows  that  only  eleven  attended  both  feffions.  Ten  new  names  appear  on  the 
April  lift.  This  feems  to  fhow  either  that  fome  of  thofe  eledled  before  the  firft  meeting  of 
the  Affembly  in  January  failed  to  attend  or  that  in  the  period  elapfing  between  the  two 
meetings  new  members  were  eledled.  Poffibly  it  fhows  both  of  thefe  things,  new  members 
being  eledled  in  place  of  the  old  ones  who  had  died  or  become  incapacitated. 

The  Affembly  met  again,  purfuant  to  adjournment,  on  the  fecond  of  June  and 
remained  in  feffion,  prefumably,  till  the  firft  of  July,  for  that  is  the  date  of  the  fecond 
paper  of  this  Affembly,  printed  in  this  volume,  entitled  "The  Remonf trance  of  the 
Grand  Affembly,"  drawn  up  in  order  to  explain  to  the  country  why  the  feffion  had  been 
fuch  a  long  one.  This  paper  names  in  a  general  way  the  many  important  things  that 
had  been  done,  feveral  of  them,  undoubtedly,  attended  to  in  the  month  between  the 

*'  There  is  fome  uncertainty  as  to  the  date.  The  adl  adjourning  the  ATfembly,  printed  in  the  "Virginia  Maga- 
zine of  Hiftory  and  Biography,"  IX,  58,  has  the  i8th.  The  firft  day  of  the  feffion  after  the  adjournment  the  im- 
portant "Declaration  againft  the  Company  to  be  Entered  as  the  2ift  A&."  was  paffed.  In  the  reply  of  the  king 
to  this  its  date  is  given  as  the  ift  of  April.    Hence  the  firft  of  April  is  the  date  given  above. 

«  The  paper  is  taken  from  Hening,  whofe  fources  were  the  "Bland  Manufcript"  and  the  "Randolph  Manu- 
fcript,"  the  latter  of  which  he  calls,  crroneoufly,  "Ancient  Records  of  the  London  Company,  Vol.  III."  No  copy  of 
the  paper  has  been  found  in  England,  nor  has  a  copy  of  the  petition  that  was  fent,  with  this  paper,  to  King  Charles 
I  been  preferved.  The  great  Civil  War  had  ftarted  by  the  time  the  papers  reached  England,  and  they  followed 
King  Charles  to  York. 

«  Data  are  infufficient  to  allow  one  to  make  a  pofitive  ftatement.  Laws  on  the  fubjeft  before  the  1645  law 
have  not  been  preferved,  and  the  lifts  of  members  that  have  been  handed  down  give  only  the  names  of  thofe  acStually 
prefent  at  the  meetings.

and  of  June  and  the  ift  of  July,  though  copies  of  the  laws  paffed  have  not  been  found." 
The  wording  of  the  laft  paragraph  of  this  paper  feems  to  fhow  that  a  large  outlay  of 
money  had  to  be  made  for  fome  purpofe.  This  was  undoubtedly  to  pay  the  expenfes 
of  the  reprefentative  or  reprefentatives  of  the  Colony  who  took  the  "Declaration  againft 
the  Company"  to  the  king,  with  the  petition  fent  at  the  fame  time,  and  poffibly  money 
with  which  to  purchafe  the  king's  favor  or  that  of  his  minifters. 

At  the  opening  of  this  affembly  Sir  Francis  Wyatt  was  governor,  he  ha\  ing  been 
fent  over  to  fucceed  Governor  Harvey  in  the  latter  part  of  1639,  and  at  its  clofe  Sir 
William  Berkeley  had  af fumed  the  reins  of  government.  Berkeley  came  over  fome  time 
before  the  firft  of  April,  and  he  figned  the  Declaration,  taking  the  fide  of  the  majority 
of  the  Affembly  and  the  country. 

The  papers  were  duly  prefented  to  the  king,  who  on  July  5  fent  from  York  a  moft 
favorable  reply,  diredted  to  the  governor.  Council,  and  Affembly.  <•  Since  the  paper  is 
fo  dire(5led,  it  is  printed  in  this  volume  as  an  Affembly  document,  and  is  not  relegated  to 
the  Appendix  as  illuftrative  or  cognate  material.  The  Journal  of  the  next  feffion  of 
Affembly  in  all  probability  contained  it. 

Grand  Affembly  of  1642/43. 

THIS  Affembly  met  the  2nd  of  March,  1642/43,  and  continued  in  feffion  for  fome 
time,  for  it  paffed  feventy-three  laws,  accomplifhed,  in  facfl,  a  revifal  of  the 
whole  body  of  the  laws;  but  no  record  of  its  proceedings  has  been  found,  nor 
any  of  the  documents  of  the  feffion.    The  laws  are  all  printed  in  Hening,  I, 
238-282,  from  a  manufcript  volume  now  in  the  Library  of  Congrefs,  which  was  purchafed 
with  the  library  of  Thomas  Jeferfon." 

Grand  Affembly  of  1643/44-44. 

THIS  Affembly  met  firft  on  the  and  of  March,  1643/44,  but  as  foon  as  the  oaths  of 
allegiance  and  fupremacy  were  adminiftered  to  the  members,  it  was  adjourned 
to  the  ift  of  June,  1644.  Then  it  met  and  paffed  the  laws  and  orders  of  the 
feffion,  the  former  of  which  have  largely  to  do  with  means  of  protedlion  againft 
the  Indians,  who  had  recently,  under  the  leaderfhip  of  Opecancanough,  accomplifhed  an 
extenfive  maffacre  of  the  colonifts.  Neither  the  laws  nor  the  orders  of  the  feffion  are 
found  in  Hening,  but  are  printed  in  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biography," 
XXIII,  228-238,  from  a  manufcript  recently  difcovered  in  the  office  of  the  clerk  of  the 
court  of  Norfolk  County  in  Port/mouth,  Virginia.  In  this  manufcript  the  laws  and  the 
orders  are  written  in  feparate  lifts,  which  fhows  that  by  this  time  a  clear  diftin(5lion  was 
made  between  the  two.  The  orders  are  from  this  time  on  always  introduced  by  the 
formula  "it  is  ordered"  or  "be  it  ordered."  In  accordance  with  the  precedent  fet  in  the 
volume  of  the  "Journals  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes"  immediately  preceding  this  one, 
the  orders  of  the  Affembly  from  this  feffion  on  are  printed  in  the  prefent  volume. 

The  orders  of  the  June,  1644,  feffion  will  be  found  on  page  71.  They  were  paffed 
on  June  3.  The  feffion  lafted  only  three  days.  It  will  be  feen  from  the  third  order 
paffed  that  the  Affembly  was  not  diffolved,  but  merely  adjourned  till  the  15th  of  the 
following  November. 

«  We  fee,  however,  in  the  laws  of  a  later  feffion  feveral  references  to  laws  paffed  at  this  feffion,  namely,  in 
the  following  afts  of  the  March,  1642/3,  feffion:  XLVIII,  LIII,  LIV,  LV,  LVI,  LVII,  LVIII,  LIX,  LXII,  LXVII, 
LXIX. 

<*  He  attached  his  fignature  to  their  "Declaration  againft  the  Company  to  be  Entered  as  the  21ft  A<5t,"  and 
thus  this  became  a  fixed  law  of  the  Colony,  in  fo  far  as  the  king's  fignature  in  thofe  times  of  upheaval  could  make 
it  one.    This  feems  to  be  the  firft  inftance  in  which  a  Virginia  law  was  figned  by  the  king  of  England. 

<'  By  Hening  it  is  called  the  "Randolph  Manufcript,"  it  having  been  at  one  time  the  property  of  Sir  John 
Randolph,  from  whom  it  was  tranfmitted  to  his  fon,  Peyton  Randolph,  after  whofe  death  it  was  purchafed  by 
Thomas  Jefferfon.  This  volume  muft  not  be  confufed  with  the  "Randolph  Manufcript"  in  the  Virginia  Hiftorical 
Society  Ubrary,  which  has  been  already  defcribed.  It  is  a  compilation  embracing  moft  of  the  laws  and  many  of 
the  orders  paffed  by  the  General  Affembly  from  1642  to  1662,  with  a  few  excerpts  from  the  Journals.  For  the 
period  which  it  covers  it  is  Hening's  principal  fource.

Grand  Affembly  of  October,   1644. 

BEFORE  the  adjourned  feffion  of  the  Affembly  of  June,  1644,  could  be  held,  an 
entirely  new  Affembly  was  called  together  by  Adling  Governor  Richard  Kemp 
and  the  Council.  Governor  Berkeley  had  gone  to  England  to  get  affiftance  in 
the  emergency  occafioned  by  the  Indian  maffacre,  and  Secretary  Kemp  was 
adling-govemor  in  his  place.  The  laws  paffed  at  this  feffion  are  printed  in  Hening.*' 
The  only  order  of  the  feffion — or  the  only  order  preferved — is  printed  in  this  volume  on 
page  72,  from  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biography,"  whofe  fource  is  the 
"Norfolk  County  Manufcript." 


Grand  Affembly  of  February,  1644/45. 

T 


HE  next  Affembly  called  held  a  feffion  in  February,  1644/45,  beginning  the  17  th 
of  the  month.  The  adls  are  all  given  in  Hening,*'  with  the  exception  of  one, 
which  is  found  in  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biography,"  XXIII, 
239,  taken  from  the  "Norfolk  County  Manufcript." 


Grand  Affembly  of  1645/46. 


ANOTHER  Affembly  was  called  to  meet  on  the  20th  of  November,  1645.  By 
this  time  Governor  Berkeley  had  returned  from  England  and  was  in  his  proper 
place  as  chief  of  the  Colony.  All  the  laws  paffed  at  this  feffion  are  found  in 
Heningi'  except  one,  and  this  is  printed  on  page  240  of  Vol.  XXIII  of  the 
"Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biography,"  from  the  "Norfolk  County  Manufcript." 
The  Affembly  was  not  diffolved  at  the  clofe  of  the  feffion,  the  date  of  which  cannot 
be  given,  but  prorogued  until  the  firft  of  the  following  March.  Meeting  at  that  time,  it 
paffed  twenty-five  a<5bs,  all  of  which  are  given  in  Hening, "  and  at  leaf t  two  orders,  which 
are  printed  in  this  volumes'  from  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biography," 
XXIII,  241,  whofe  fource  is  the  "Norfolk  County  Manufcript." 

Grand  Affembly  of  October,  1 646. 

ANEW  Affembly  was  called  to  meet  on  the  5th  of  Odober,  1646.     It  is  not  known 
how  long  the  feffion  lafted.     Twenty-nine  laws  were  paffed,    all  of  which  are 
given  in  Hening."    However,    Adl  XXVIII,    which  is  the  levy  &&.  of  the 
feffion,  is  not  given  in  full,  that  is,  the  amounts  to  be  raifed  in  each  county 
and  the  amounts  to  be  difburfed  in  each  county  are  not  given.    Thefe  amounts, 
however,  for  Lower  Norfolk  County,  are  to  be  found  in  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of 
Hiftory  and  Biography,"  copied  from  the  "Norfolk  County  Manufcript. "«<

"  At  that  time  in  Virginia  hiftory  a  manufcript  copy  of  the  laws  and  orders  paffed  at  each  feffion  of  the 
General  Affembly  was  fent  to  the  clerk  of  the  county  court  in  each  county — that  is,  of  all  the  general  laws,  but  of 
the  fpecial  and  local  laws  and  of  the  orders  there  were  copies  only  of  fuch  as  would  be  of  local  intereft  in  the 
county  to  which  any  particular  manufcript  was  fent.  It  was  felt  that  it  would  not  be  neceffary  to  fend,  for  example, 
the  private  afts  and  orders  aflefting  inhabitants  of  Northumberland  County  to  Henrico  or  Charles  City,  or  vice 
verfa.    It  happens,  accordingly,  that  fome  of  thefe  manufcript  copies  contain  laws  and  orders  not  found  in  others- 


[xli] 
Grand  Affembly  of  1647/48. 

THIS  Affembly  met  firft  the  sth  of  April  and  continued  in  feffion  long  enough  to 
pafs  the  two  ads  given  in  Hening  on  pp.  340-341  of  volume  one,  and  to  draw 
up  and  adopt  the  "Declaration  concerning  the  Dutch  Trade"  printed  in  this 
volume  of  the  Journals  on  p.  74.  Hening  erroneoully  affigns  the  two  adls  to 
the  November  feffion  of  the  Affembly.  The  correal  date  is  afcertained  from  the  "Norfolk 
County  Manufcript." 

The  fecond  acSl  of  this  feffion  is  in  part  as  follows : 

"Be  it  ena(5led  by  this  prefent  Grand  Affembly  that  the  Affembly  be  adjourned 
until  the  ffirft  day  of  Odober  next,  and  that  all  members  of  both  houfes  do  then  give  their 
attendance  at  James  City  without  any  pretence  whatfoever  to  the  contrary,    *    *     *     "ss 

If  the  Affembly  came  together  at  that  time,  however,  and  prefumably  it  did,  for  the 
law  is  plain,  and  the  governor  would  hardly  have  prorogued  the  Affembly  to  a  later  date 
in  the  face  of  the  law,  it  feems  to  have  come  together  only  long  enough  to  pafs  an  order  to 
adjourn  till  the  3d  of  November.  Meeting  at  that  time,  it  paffed  the  a(5ls  printed  in 
Vol.  I  of  Hening  on  pp.  341-352,  and  the  a(5ls  and  parts  of  adls  printed  on  pp. 
247-255  of  Vol.  XXIII  of  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biography,"  from 
the  "Norfolk  County  Manufcript." 

This  Affembly  held  another  feffion,  beginning  the  12th  of  Odober,  1648,  the  laws 
paffed  at  which  are  printed  on  pp.  352-357  of  Vol.  I  of  Hening. 

The  ftatement  that  this  feffion  was  an  adjourned  feffion  of  the  Affembly  of  1647, 
and  not  the  firft  feffion  of  a  new  Affembly,  is  made  folely  on  the  ground  that  no  lift  of 
members  of  the  Affembly  is  given  in  the  manufcript  before  the  adls.  As  has  been  ftated, 
in  the  cafe  of  new  affemblies  the  manufcript  copies  of  the  feffion  laws  give,  invariably, 
it  is  fuppofed,  the  names  of  the  members  of  the  Affembly,  but  do  not  give  them  in  the 
cafe  of  adjourned  feffions.    In  the  prefent  cafe  no  lift  appears. 

The  laft  adl  of  this  feffion  adjourned  the  Affembly  to  the  loth  oi  February,  1649/50; 
but  if  any  meeting  took  place  at  that  time,  no  record  has  been  preferved. 


T 


Grand  AfTembly  of  1649. 


HIS  Affembly  met  the  loth  of  Odober,  1649,  and  paffed  the  laws  printed  in 
Hening  on  pp.  359-362  of  Vol.  I.,  but  nothing  further  is  known  in  reference 
to  it.    This  was  the  firft  affembly  meeting  after  the  execution  of  Charles  I. 


Grand  AfTembly  of  1650/51. 


THE  Englifh  Parliament,  on  Odober  3,  1650,"  paffed  an  adl  forbidding  all  trade 
whatfoever  between  Virginia  and  the  outfide  world,  with  the  objedl,  of  courfe, 
of  compelling  Virginia  to  fubmit  to  Parliamentary  control,  the  Colony  having 
up  to  this  time  been  moft  recalcitrant."  But  the  governor  of  Virginia  and 
the  majority  of  the  Council  and  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes  looked  upon  the  adl  as  a 
threat  which  it  would  be  impoffible  to  enforce,  and  in  a  feffion  of  the  Affembly  that  met 
in  March,  1650/5 1 ,  anfwered  moft  defiantly.  The  fpeech  of  the  governor  to  the  Affembly 
and  the  declaration  drawn  up  by  the  Affembly  are  printed  from  the  "Virginia  Magazine 
of  Hiftory  and  Biography,"  I,  75-81,  whole  fource  was  a  copy  in  the  Virginia  State 
Library  of  a  pamphlet  in  the  Library  of  Trinity  College,  Dublin,  Ireland. 

«  Hening,  I,  p.  341. 

s'  The  date  as  given  in  the  Declaration  of  the  Affembly  printed  on  p.  76  of  this  volume  is  an  error.    It  fhould 
be  1650  and  not  1651.

[xlii] 

The  paragraph  giving  the  proceedings  of  the  Affembly  after  the  governor  had 
finifhed  his  fiery  fpeech  is  as  follows: 

"This  fpeech  being  ended  the  pretended  A(5t  of  Parliament  was  publiquely  read  in 
the  Affembly  where  upon  (at  the  motion  of  the  Houf e  of  Commons  to  the  Govemour  and 
Councell)  this  following  vindication  was  unanimoufly  agreed  on." 

This  feems  to  indicate  that  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes — here  for  the  firft  time  called 
"Houfe  of  Commons,"  as  it  was  occafionally  afterward — at  this  feffion  fat  as  a  feparate 
chamber.  The  meaning  of  the  paffage  is  taken  to  be  that  the  adl  of  Parliament  was 
read  to  the  two  chambers  in  joint  feffion  and  that  the  "vindication"  "unanimoiifly 
agreed  on"  was  unanimoufly  agreed  on  firft  by  the  Houfe  and  then  by  the  governor 
and  Council. 

Grand  Affembly  of  165  1-165  1/52. 

AVERY  interefting  hiftorical  paper  foimd  among  the  records  of  Northampton 
County  feems  to  indicate  that  a  feffion  of  the  Affembly  was  held  in  September, 
1651,  but  of  this  feffion  nothing  further  is  known.  One  paragraph  of  the 
paper  is  as  follows: 

"Imprmis.  Wee  the  Inhabitants  of  Northampton  Countie  doe  complayne  that 
from  tyme  to  tyme  (^ticular  yeares  paft)  wee  have  been  fubmitted  &  bine  obedient  unto 
the  paymt  of  publeq  Taxacons.  Butt  after  ye  yeare  1647,  fince  yt  tyme  wee  Conceive  & 
have  found  that  ye  taxes  were  very  weightie.  But  in  a  more  efpetiall  manner  (undr 
favor)  wee  are  very  fenfible  of  the  Taxacon  of  fforty  fixe  pounds  of  tobacco  ^  poll  (this 
pref ent  yeare) .  And  defire  y t  ye  fame  bee  taken  off  ye  charge  of  ye  Countie ;  furthermore 
wee  alledge  that  after  1647,  wee  did  underftand  &  fuppofe  or  [our]  Countie  or  North- 
ampton to  bee  difioynted  &  fequeftered  from  ye  reft  of  Virginia.  Therefore  that  Llawe 
wch  requireth  &  inioyneth  Taxacons  from  us  to  bee  Arbitrarye  &  illegall ;  fforafmuch  as 
wee  had  neither  fiunmons  for  EUecon  of  Burgeffes  nor  voyce  in  their  Affemblye  (during 
the  time  aforefd)  but  only  the  Singlur  Burgefs  in  September,  Ano.,  1651.  Wee  conceive 
that  wee  may  Lawfullie  pteft  agt  the  Pceedings  in  the  A(5l  of  Affemblie  for  publiq  Taxa- 
cons wch  have  relacon  to  Northmton  Countie  fince  ye  year  1647." 

The  paper  as  a  whole  confifts  of  a  fet  of  inftrudlions  drawn  up  for  the  guidance  of 
the  Burgeffes  for  Northampton  County  in  the  April,  1652,  Grand  Affembly  by  a  committee 
of  the  people  of  the  county.  It  is  dated  March  30,  1652.  It  is  printed  in  full  in  Jennings 
Cropper  Wife's  "Early  Hiftory  of  the  Eaftem  Shore  of  Virginia,"  pp.  139-140. 

The  Affembly  found  out,  contrary  to  expedlations,  that  the  Parliamentary  govern- 
ment was  prepared  to  force  the  Colony  to  capitulate.  An  Englifh  fleet  of  fufficient 
ftrength  failed  up  the  James  in  the  early  fpring  of  1651/52,  and  the  governor,  after  an 
appropriate  fhow  of  refiftance,  very  fenfibly  yielded.  He  called  the  members  of  the 
Affembly  together,  however,**  and  proceedings  reminding  one  of  the  proceedings  taking 
place  in  the  cafe  of  two  equal  powers  were  carried  through  between  the  Virginia  As- 
fembly  and  the  Parliamentary  Commiffioners,  two  out  of  three  of  them  being  themfelves, 
indeed,  Virginians.  The  Commiffioners  allowed  the  Affembly  the  moft  lenient  terms, 
and  the  Colony  acknowledged  the  fupremacy  of  Parliament.  The  terms  agreed  on  are 
contained  in  the  paper  entitled  "Articles  at  the  Surrender  of  the  Country,"  agreed  upon 
by  the  Commiffioners  and  the  Affembly,  and  in  the  fubfidiary  paper  agreed  upon  by  the 
Commiffioners  and  the  governor  and  Council,  its  articles  having  to  do  with  the  rights  and 
privileges  of  Sir  William  Berkeley  and  the  members  of  his  Council  under  the  new  govern- 
ment that  was  to  be  fet  up.  Both  the  papers  are  printed  in  this  volume — on  pages 
79-81 — the  firft  of  manifeft  right, it  being  in  the  ftridleft  fenfe  a  document  of  theAffembly, 

••  It  feems  probable  that  this  was  not  a  new  Affembly,  but  the  Affembly  which  had  already  held  a  feffion  in 
1651. 


[xliii] 

and  the  fecond,  though  not  a  document  of  the  whole  Affembly,  only  a  document  of  one 
branch  of  the  Affembly,  having  fo  clofe  a  connedlion  with  that  document  that  it  would 
feem  improper  to  feparate  the  two.  The  proclamation  of  indemnity,  called  an  "Adl  of  In- 
demnity," iffued  by  the  Commiffioners,  is  alfo  given,  to  complete  the  ftory.  It  was,  un- 
doubtedly, communicated  to  and  read  before  the  Affembly,  in  this  way  becoming  a  docu- 
ment of  the  Affembly  in  much  the  fame  fenfe  in  which  the  letter  of  Charles  I  to  the 
Affembly  in  1642  became  an  Affembly  document. 


Grand  Affembly  o^  April- May,    1652. 

THE  Parliamentary  Commiffioners,  having  been  given  power  by  the  Council  of 
State  in  England  to  call  a  meeting  of  the  Burgeffes,  proceeded  to  do  fo,  in 
order  to  draw  up  a  plan  of  government  for  the  Colony  till  the  government 
fhould  be  definitely  arranged  by  the  authorities  in  England,  at  this  time,  the 
fpring  of  1652,  the  Parliament,  with  the  Council  of  State  adling  as  an  executive.  This 
Houfe  of  Burgeffes  and  the  Commiffioners  a<5ling  with  them  formed  a  kind  of  confti- 
tutional  convention,  and  their  work,  owing  to  the  peculiar  fituation  of  affairs  exifting 
in  England,  was  allowed  to  ftand,  with  little  interference,  till  the  clofe  of  the  common- 
wealth period.  According  to  the  framework  drawn  up,  the  Burgeffes  were  to  be  the  feat 
of  power,  eledling  both  the  governor  and  the  members  of  the  Council,  who  were  to  affift 
the  governor  in  executive  and  judicial  matters.  The  Affembly  at  the  ftart  confifted  of 
the  members  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes  and  the  Parliamentary  Commiffioners,  and  then, 
after  the  governor  and  members  of  the  Council  had  been  eledled,  of  thefe  in  addition. 
It  feems  to  have  been  unicameral  throughout. 

The  Affembly  met  the  26th  of  April  and  remained  in  feffion  for  fome  time,  though 
the  exa(5t  date  of  adjournment  cannot  be  given.  It  does  not  feem  that  any  laws  in  the 
ufual  fenfe  were  paffed,  moft  of  the  time  of  the  Affembly  being  taken  up  with  conftitu- 
tional  queftions.  At  leaft  one  petition,  however,  was  handed  in  to  the  Affembly,  which 
was  granted.  Unfortunately,  the  full  proceedings  have  not  been  handed  down,  but  the 
paragraphs  that  have  been  preferved,  being  dated  and  having  in  places  fomewhat  of  the 
joumalif tic  ftyle,  have  more  of  the  appearance  of  a  true  journal  than  any  proceedings  go- 
ing before. 

The  proceedings  as  printed  in  this  volume  are  from  two  different  original  fources, 
namely,  the  Library  of  Congrefs  "Randolph  Manufcript,"  mentioned  before,  and  a 
manufcript  in  the  Library  of  Congrefs  in  the  handwriting  of  Thomas  Jejfferfon,  called 
by  Hening  the  "Jejfferjon  Manufcript. "59  Moft  of  what  appears  in  thefe  two  manufcripts 
concerning  the  prefent  feffion  is  printed  in  Hening;'"  but  one  paragraph  in  the  "Ran- 
dolph Manufcript"  not  ufed  by  Hening  is  found  in  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory 
and  Biography,"  VIII,  386,  387. 

»  Jefferfon  wrote  at  the  beginning  of  this  manufcript,  "Copied  from  Mercer's  Ms.  by  Thos.  Jefferfon."  The 
Mercer  here  fpoken  of  was  probably  the  diftinguifhed  lawyer,  John  Mercer,  of  "Marlborough,"  the  author  of  the 
"Abridgement  of  the  Laws  of  Virginia,"  the  firft  edition  of  which  was  publifhed  at  Williamfburg  in  1737.  The 
manufcript  has  in  it  fome  of  the  afts  and  orders  paffed  at  the  feveral  feffions  from  April  1652  to  March,  1660/61, 
being  much  fuller  for  the  laft  feffion  covered  than  for  any  other.

Grand  Affembly  o{  November,   1652. 

THE  Affembly  met  again  on  the  25th  of  November,  1652.  It  does  not  feem  to  have 
paffed  any  laws  in  the  ufual  form — at  any  rate  none  of  thefe  has  been  handed 
down.  It,  however,  confidered  a  number  of  queftions  of  importance,  and  gave 
judgment  in  reference  to  them  by  means  of  orders.  Efpecially  are  the  orders 
in  the  law  cafes,  in  which  the  Affembly  acfted  as  the  court  of  laft  refort  in  Virginia,  of 
intereft.  Appeals  to  the  Affembly  in  law  cafes  had  been  allowed  for  fome  time,"  and 
no  doubt  many  cafes  had  come  up,  but  this  is  the  firft  feffion  for  which  we  have  record 
of  them. 

The  fources  of  information  for  this  feffion  are  the  fame  as  thofe  given  for  the  pre- 
ceding feffion. 


Grand  Affembly  of  1653. 


THIS  Affembly  met  the  5th  of  July  and  continued  in  feffion  certainly  till  the  13th 
of  the  month,  that  being  the  laft  date  given  in  fuch  of  the  proceedings  of  the 
Affembly  as  have  been  preferved,  and  probably  much  longer. 

The  fources  of  the  text  of  the  proceedings  printed  in  the  prefent  volume 
from  Hening  and  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biography"  are  the  "Randolph 
Manufcript"  of  the  Library  of  Congrefs,  the  "Jefferfon  Manufcript,"  and  the  "Bland 
Manufcript,"  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biography"  going  back  to  the 
"Bland  Manufcript"  through  the  "Randolph  Manufcript"  of  the  Virginia  Hiftorical 
Society,  which,  as  has  been  faid,  is  a  copy  of  the  "Bland  Manufcript"  of  the  Library  of 
Congrefs. 

The  "Bland  Manufcript"  is,  as  has  alfo  been  faid,  a  colledlion  of  tranfcripts 
and  of  abftradls  of  official  Virginia  records  or  poffibly  in  fome  cafes  of  copies 
of  thefe.  UfuaUy  fuch  orders  as  are  given  are  copied  in  full,  and  occafionally  a  few  para- 
graphs are  taken  from  the  Journals  of  the  feveral  Affemblies,  but,  unfortunately,  in  no 
cafe  has  an  entire  Journal  been  copied,  the  compiler  taking  only  fuch  parts  of  the  originals 
as  feemed  to  him  to  be  moft  important.  The  compiler,  too,  has  not  always  done  his  work 
very  fatisfacflorily,  there  being  here  and  there  evident  errors  in  tranfcription,  carelefs 
abftradling,  and  failure  to  copy  a  fufficient  amount  from  the  original  records  to  give  the 
full  ftory  of  a  tranfadlion.  The  laft  of  thefe  faults  is  well  illuftrated  in  the  cafe  of  the 
material  appearing  in  this  volume  on  pp.  86-88,  efpecially  that  part  of  it  giving  the  pro- 
ceedings in  the  cafe  of  Captain  Abraham  Read.  The  full  charge  againft  Captain  Read 
is  given,  Captain  Read's  acknowledgment  of  his  errors,  and  the  order  of  the  Affembly 
in  the  matter,  with  the  date.  But  then,  without  date,  comes  the  petition  of  the  offender, 
which  muft  have  been  written  feveral  days  after  the  order  of  the  Affembly — the  wording 
of  the  petition  fhows  this — and  the  difpofition  made  of  the  petition  is  entirely  omitted. 
Having  commenced  with  the  cafe  of  Captain  Read,  the  compiler  fhould  have  been  care- 
ful to  give  the  whole  ftory,  fo  far  as  the  records  permitted.  Defpite  its  imperfedlions, 
however,  the  "Bland  Manufcript"  is,  in  the  lofs  of  the  original  records,  of  the  very  high- 
eft  importance  as  a  fource  of  Virginia  hiftory.

Grand  AfTembly  of  1654-55. 

THIS  Affembly  held  two  feffions,  one  in  November,  1654,  and  the  other  in  the 
following  March.  The  firft  feffion  began  on  the  20th  of  November,  but  the 
date  of  its  clofe  is  not  known.  Moft  of  the  orders  and  proceedings — fuch  of 
them  as  have  been  preferved — are  given  in  the  prefent  volume  on  pp.93  and  94, 
from  the  fources  defcribed  above.  However,  feveral  of  them  and  one  or  two  fentences 
evidently  from  the  Journal  were  overlooked  becaufe  of  a  mifunderftanding  on  the  part 
of  the  editor  of  this  volume  of  a  ftatement  made  by  Hening.  This  omitted  material 
appears  below.  Hening  fays  on  p.  388  of  Vol.  I :  "Here  follow  in  the  Rand,  and  Bl.  Mfs. 
the  decifions  of  the  Grand  Affembly,  in  various  civil  adlions,  but  they  are  not  of  fufficient 
importance  to  juftify  their  infertion."  The  editor  fuppofed  from  this  that  the  "Randolph 
Manufcript" — that  is,  the  "Randolph  Manufcript"  of  the  Library  of  Congrefs — and  the 
"Bland  Manufcript"  had  the  fame  material  which  Hening  omitted,  and  fupplied  in  the 
text  the  material  contained  in  the  former  of  thefe  manufcripts  as  given  in  the  "Virginia 
Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biography,"  VIII,  387,  388,  but  an  examination  of  the  "Bland 
Manufcript"  fhows  that  it  does  in  fadt  contain  additional  material.  This  material  is,  of 
courfe,  alfo  in  the  Virginia  Hiftorical  Society  "Randolph  Manufcript,"  but  it  was  not 
given  in  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biography"  when  this  periodical  pub- 
lifhed  fuch  parts  of  the  manufcript  as  had  not  already  found  their  way  into  print,  which 
was  done  fome  years  after  fimilar  treatment  had  been  given  the  Library  of  Congrefs 
"Randolph  Manufcript."  The  editor  of  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biogra- 
phy" probably  interpreted  Hening  as,  later,  the  editor  of  the  prefent  volume  of  the 
JoiuTials  interpreted  him.  Hence  the  paragraphs  of  the  "Bland  Manufcript"  omitted 
by  Hening  appear  here,  it  is  beheved,  for  the  firft  time  in  print.    They  are  as  follows: 

"It  is  ordered  by  this  prefent  Grand  Affembly  in  the  Difference  between  Capt. 
Thos.  Willoughby  and  Bartholomew  Hodgeskins  that  Hodgeskins  the  then  Sheriff  is  no 
way  liable  to  make  Willoughby  any  fatisfadlion  and  the  former  proceedings  againft  the 
faid  Willoughby  of  the  Affembly  were  grounded  upon  very  good  Reafons  becaufe  it  ap- 
peareth  that  the  faid  Willoughby  was  not  fwom  nor  a(5led  as  a  Counfellor  of  this  Countr}' 
before  the  Levy  was  made  which  he  refufing  to  pay  occafioned  all  the  Damage  which  in

The  Houfe  and  the  Council  had  by  this  time  evidently  refumed  the  pradlice  of 
fitting  feparately,  as  is  concluded  from  feveral  pieces  of  evidence  in  the  proceedings. 
The  firft  piece  of  evidence  is  fumifhed  by  the  firft  order  given.    This  was  paffed  by  the 


[  xlvi  1 

Houfe  of  Burgeffes  alone.  It  concerned  the  fpeaker  of  the  Houfe,  Colonel  Edward  Hill, 
and,  accordingly,  it  was  not  neceffary  that  the  Council  fhould  concur  in  it.  The  words, 
however,  "it  is  therefore  ordered  by  this  houfe"  fhow  that  there  were  two  chambers, 
for,  had  there  been  only  one— if  the  Council  and  the  Burgeffes  had  been  fitting  together— 
the  wording  would  have  been,  as  is  the  cafe  with  the  other  orders  of  the  feffion,  "it  is 
ordered  by  the  Affembly,"  or  "the  Grand  Affembly."  Secondly,  the  names  of  the 
Houfe  members  of  the  Committee  for  Private  Caufes  are  given,  and  then  the  ftatement 
is  made  that  Colonel  William  Clayborne,  Colonel  William  Taylor,  and  Edward  Diggs.Eiq., 
were  added  to  the  committee.  Thefe  three  gentlemen  were  members  of  the  Council. 
Had  there  been  only  one  chamber,  there  would  have  been  no  diftindion  in  naming  the 
committeemen.  In  the  third  place,  the  governor  fent  a  communication  to  the  Houfe 
ftating  that  the  governor  and  Council  had  called  Mr.  Edward  Diggs  to  be  a  member  of 
the  Council  and  asking  that  the  Houfe,  or  "Affembly,"  as  he  called  the  Houfe,  confent 
to  the  feledlion.  It  will  be  remembered  that  the  Houfe  was  the  fource  of  power  at  this 
time. 

The  Affembly  adjourned  to  the  20th  of  March,  1654/55.  The  items  given  in  this 
volume  on  pp.  95-98,  under  the  heading  "Some  of  the  Proceedings  of  the  1654/55 
Seffion,"  were  all  taken  by  the  editor  of  the  prefent  volume,  when  the  text  of  the  volume 
was  being  fecured,  to  belong  to  the  1654/55  feffion,  defpite  difficulties,  becaufe  the 
Library  of  Congrefs  "Randolph  Manufcript,"  the  original  fource  of  the  text,  has  the 
material  in  this  order." 

On  further  confideration  it  appears  to  the  editor  that  the  compiler  of  the  manufcript 
has  in  faft,  however,  inferted  feveral  paragraphs  that  do  not  belong  to  the  1654/55 
feffion,  but  to  the  1655/56  feffion.  He,  beyond  doubt,  put  the  adls  of  the  March,  1655/56, 
feffion  before  thofeof  the  March,  1654/55,  feffion,  dating  both  1655, «j  and  in  the  fame 
way  has  confufed  fomewhat  the  two  feffions  fo  far  as  the  orders  and  extracfts  from  the 
Journals  are  concerned.  Unfortunately,  the  "Bland  Manufcript"  can  be  of  no  affiftance 
in  ftraightening  out  the  tangle,  for  the  reafon  that  this  manufcript  has  no  entries  for 
thefe  two  feffions,  except  the  acfts  for  the  1655/56  feffion.  The  "Randolph  Manufcript" 
of  the  Library  of  Congrefs  is  our  fole  reliance,  and  the  text  given  in  this  volume,  on  pp. 
95-98,  follows  the  order  of  that  manufcript  exadlly,  all  the  items  being  put  under  the 
1654/55  feffion.  However,  an  examination  of  the  individual  items  fhows  that  feveral 
fhould  probably  be  affigned  to  the  1655/56  feffion,  the  firft  feffion  of  a  new  Affembly. 

The  lift  of  members  of  the  1654/55  feffion,  which  was  an  adjourned  feffion  from  the 
preceding  November,''*  muft  have  been  about  the  fame  as  the  lift  for  that  feffion,  which  is 
given  in  the  "Randolph  Manufcript"  of  the  Library  of  Congrefs,  and  printed  in  Hening  1^ 
386,  in  Stanard's  "Colonial  Virginia  Regifter,"  pp.  71,72,  and  in  the  prefent  volume  of 
the  "Journals  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes,"  on  p.  xxii.  A  comparifon  of  the  names  of  the 
members  of  the  Committee  of  Private  Caufes,  the  firft  item  given,  with  the  names  of 
the  members  of  the  Houfe  for  the  November,  1654,  feffion,  and  prefumably  for  the  March, 
1654/55,  feffion,  fhows  that  thefe  do  not  correfpond,  and  that  accordingly  this  Committee 
of  Private  Caufes  mtift  be  for  the  1655/56  feffion.  It  is  true  that  this  feffion  of  March, 
1654/55,  was  adjourned  to  the  following  March,^^  and  that  the  "Randolph  Manufcript" 
gives  no  lift  of  members,  before  the  adts  of  the  latter  feffion,  for  that  feffion,  and  that 
ufually  under  fuch  circumftances  this  would  be  taken  to  indicate  that  the  March,  1655/56, 
feffion  was  a  feffion  adjourned  from  the  March,  1654/5 5 ,  feffion.  This  cannot  be,  however ; 
for  the  adls  of  the  December,  1656,  feffion,  as  given  in  the  "Randolph  Manufcript"  and

printed  in  Hening,  are  headed  as  follows:  "At  a  Grand  Affembly  held  at  James  Citty 
by  prorogation  from  the  loth  of  March,  1655,  to  this  inftant,  firft  of  December,  1656, 
wherein  was  inadled  as  followeth."  This  fhows  that  the  March,  1655/56,  feffion  was  the 
firft  feffion  of  a  new  Affembly;  in  other  words,  a  general  election  had  been  held.  Even 
if  this  evidence  were  lacking,  the  very  names  of  the  committee  would  warrant  the 
affertion;  for  of  the  twelve  Houfe  members  of  the  committee  only  two  were  members 
of  the  November,  1654,  feffion,  and  it  is  unbelievable  that  unlefs  there  had  been  a  general 
eledlion  the  memberfhip  of  the  Houfe  could  have  changed  fo  greatly.  Moreover, 
Colonel  Thomas  Dew  is  recorded  as  one  of  the  two  Council  members  added  to  this 
committee.  Now,  Colonel  Dew  was  a  member  of  the  Houfe  at  the  November,  1654, 
feffion,  and  at  the  March,  1654/55,  feffion  till  March  31,  1655,  when  he  was  eledled  by 
the  Houfe  a  member  of  the  Council." 

Almoft  certainly,  then,  this  committee  belonged  to  the  1655/56  feffion,  which  was 
the  firft  feffion  of  a  new  Affembly  that  held  its  fecond  and  final  feffion  in  December,  1656. 
By  fimilar  reafoning  the  Committee  for  the  Levy  and  the  Committee  concerning  the 
Adl  for  Markets  belong  to  the  March,  1655/56,  feffion,  and  poffibly  the  two  items  in 
reference  to  Mr.  John  Page  and  Colonel  John  Flood.  Other  items,  poffibly — in  fadt, 
probably,  for  there  is  no  reafon  to  think  that  the  1655/56  feffion  was  lefs  adlive  than  its 
immediate  predeceffor — belong  to  the  later  feffion,  but  fufficient  data  are  not  at  hand 
for  identification. 


Grand  Affembly  of  1655/56-56. 

THIS  Affembly,  as  did  the  Affembly  of  1654/55,  held  two  feffions,  the  firft  in 
March,  1655/56,  and  the  fecond  in  the  following  December.  Of  the  firft  feffion 
of  the  Affembly  fufficient  has  been  faid  above.  The  fecond  feffion  began  the 
firft  of  December  and  continued  certainly  through  the  15th — for  two  letters 
written  by  the  Affembly  bear  that  date — and  poffibly  longer.  It  paffed  various  a(5ls 
and  orders,  given  in  the  manufcripts  already  defcribed,  fome  of  them  in  one  manufcript 
and  fome  in  another,  printed  in  Hening's  "Statutes  at  Large"  and  the  "Virginia  Maga- 
zine of  Hiftory  and  Biography,""  and  drew  up  letters  to  Oliver  Cromwell,  lord  protector, 
and  John  Thurlow,  fecretary  of  ftate,  and  inftrudions  to  Edward  Diggs,  appointed 
agent  of  the  Colony  in  England.  All  the  orders  are  printed  in  this  book,  including  one 
claffed  by  Hening,  by  overfight,  as  an  adl,  as  are  the  letters  and  inftrudlions  referred  to 
above,  which  are  printed  from  Burk's  "Hiftory  of  Virginia,"  II,  1 16-1 17,  Burk  having 
copied  them  from  the  "Bland  Manufcript."

Grand  Affembly  of  1657/58-58. 

THIS  affembly  met  the  13th  of  March,  1657/58,  and  continued  in  feffion  certainly 
through  the  3rd  of  April,  1658,  and  poffibly  longer.    The  proceedings  printed 
in  this  volume  are  not  the  full  Journal  of  the  Houfe  for  this  feffion,  but  they 
come  much  nearer  being  a  full  Journal  than  any  proceedings  which  have  gone 
before,  and  are  evidently — except  in  the  cafe  of  the  few  orders  of  the  whole  Affembly 
preferved  and  printed — the  proceedings  of  the  Houfe  alone. 

The  feffion  was  an  unufually  important  one.  At  it  was  paffed  a  body  of  revifed 
laws,  one  hundred  and  thirty-one  in  ntunber,  prepared  by  a  committee  of  revifal 
appointed  at  the  preceding  feffion,"  and  there  occurred  a  ftiflf  difpute  between  the  Houfe 
of  Burgeffes  and  the  governor  and  Council  as  to  the  relative  powers  of  the  two,  the 
Houfe  coming  off  triumphant.  Fortunately,  the  compiler  of  the  Library  of  Congrefs 
"Randolph  Manufcript,"  to  which  the  text  given  in  this  volimie  goes  back,  gives  fufB- 
ciently  full  extradls  from  the  original  Journal  to  enable  the  reader  to  get  a  pretty  clear 
imderftanding  of  the  fituation.  The  proceedings  as  printed  in  this  volume  follow 
the  order  as  given  in  the  "Randolph  Manufcript;"  and  one  or  two  items  omitted  both 
by  Hening  and  in  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and  Biography"  have  been  inferted. 
The  Houfe  on  March  26  voted  that  at  the  clofe  of  the  feffion  the  Affembly  fhould 
not  be  diffolved,  but  fhould  be  adjourned  to  the  ift  of  November.**  Whether  or  not  it 
met  at  that  time  is  not  known,  none  of  the  proceedings  having  been  preferved. 


Grand  Affembly  of  1658/59. 

THE  next  feffion  of  Affembly — and  it  was  a  feffion  of  a  new  Affembly — began 
the  7th  of  March,  1658/59,  and  continued  through  the  15th  of  March — which 
is  the  date  of  the  laft  proceedings  given  in  the  Library  of  Congrefs  "Randolph 
Manufcript" — and  probably  longer.  Very  important  laws  were  paffed'*  and 
conftitutional  queftions  fettled.  As  in  the  cafe  of  the  proceedings  of  the  preceding 
feffion,  the  material  printed,  the  Library  of  Congrefs  "Randolph  Manufcript"  being  the 
fource,  has  been  given  in  the  order  in  which  it  appears  in  that  manufcript.  As  in  the 
former  cafe,  the  proceedings  are  thofe  of  the  Houfe  fitting  feparate  from  the  Council 
and  have  the  appearance  of  the  later  Journals  of  the  Houfe.  Much  material  in  the 
original  Journal,  however,  is  evidently  omitted. 


The  Appendix. 


The  material  in  the  Appendix  may  be  defcribed  briefly  as  follows: 
The  firft  paper  is  a  law  drawn  up  by  the  governor  and  Council  in  the  period  after 
the  revocation  of  the  charter  of  the  London  Company  and  before  the  meeting  of  the 
firft  Grand  Affembly  called  together  by  authority  of  the  king.  The  term  "law"  feems 
to  be  the  proper  one  in  the  premifes,  for  during  that  period  the  governor  and  Council 
made  up  the  law-making  body  as  conftituted  by  the  proper  authorities  in  England.  The 
law  feems  to  have  a  warrant  to  be  inferted  here  becaufe  it  fumifhes  an  interefting 
example  of  the  kind  of  laws  promulgated  by  the  governor  and  Council  at  this  time,  and 
it  has — fo  far  as  the  editor  of  the  volume  knows— never  been  printed  before.  The 
original  is  a  manufcript  in  the  Library  of  Congrefs  which  is  almoft  certainly  the 
original  copy  of  the  law  preferved  by  the  clerk  of  the  Council.

The  next  three  papers  are  letters  written  by  the  governor  and  Council  at  the  clofe 
of  the  Grand  Affembly  of  1628/29  to  powerful  noblemen  in  England  requefting  their 
influence  in  the  prevention  of  the  tobacco  monopoly  at  that  time  under  contemplation 
by  the  king.  They  fupplement  the  papers  drawn  up  by  the  whole  Affembly,  and  are 
the  letters  referred  to  in  the  commiffion  of  the  General  Affembly  to  Sir  Francis  Wyatt, 
Mr.  Edward  Bennett,  and  Mr.  Michael  Mar/hart  conftituting  them  agents  to  manage 
the  cafe  of  Virginia  at  this  important  jundlure."  They  are  dire(5led,  refpedlively,  to 
Vifcount  Mandcville,  the  Earl  of  Dorfett,  and  Lord  Delaware.  The  firft  of  thefe,  Henty 
Montagu,  Vifcount  Mandeville,  was  at  that  time  prefident  of  the  Privy  Council;  the 
fecond,  Edward  Sackville,  the  Earl  of  Dorfett,  was  a  member  of  the  Privy  Council,  had 
always  fhown  great  intereft  in  Virginia  affairs,  and  was  to  be  appointed  in  163 1  a  member 
of  the  commiffion  named  to  advife  fome  courfe  for  the  advancement  of  the  planting  of 
Virginia;  the  third,  Henry  Weft,  Lord  Delaware,  was  the  fon  of  the  Lord  Delaware  fo 
clofely  connedted  with  the  earlier  hiftory  of  the  Colony. 

The  text  is  obtained  from  contemporary  copies  of  the  originals,  thefe  copies  being 
now  in  the  Library  of  Congrefs.    The  letters  have  never  been  printed  in  full  before. 

The  original  of  the  next  paper,  which  is  in  the  Britifh  Public  Record  Office,  the  text 
here  prefented  being  from  the  "Bancroft  Tranf cripts, "  has  endorfed  on  it  in  the  hand- 
writing of  Vifcount  Dorchefter,  Secretary  of  State,  "The  Government  of  Virginia's 
Memorial."  The  form  of  it,  however,  fhows  it  to  be,  not  the  memorial  as  drawn  up  by 
the  government — that  is,  the  governor  and  Council— of  Virginia,  but  the  fubftance  of 
this  memorial  as  made  by  Vifcount  Dorchefter,  or,  poffibly,  made  for  him  by  a  clerk.  The 
paper  is  not  dated,  but  is  in  the  "Calendar  of  State  Papers"  given  the  date  of  "April  ?, 
1630."  It  is  inferted  here  merely  becaufe  it  is  of  intereft  as  throwing  light  on  the  hiftory 
of  the  time  and  becaufe  it  has  never  been  printed  before. 

The  next  docimient,  printed  on  pp.  124,  125,  is  a  letter  from  the  governor  and  Coun- 
cil of  Virginia  to  the  commiffioners  named  in  England  in  1630  to  examine  into  the 
condition  of  Virginia  and  fuggeft  means  for  its  improvement.  It  is  the  companion 
paper  of  the  petition  drawn  up  at  the  fame  time  by  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes,"  and  is, 
like  that  paper,  erroneoufly  faid  in  the  heading  given  it  by  the  editor,  following  the 
"Bland  Manufcript,"  to  be  diredled  to  the  Privy  Council." 

The  printing  of  the  twentieth  adl  of  the  Grand  Affembly  of  1636/37,  next  in  order, 
was  decided  on,  becaufe  this  a<5l,  not  given  in  Hening,  and  not  printed  in  full  anywhere, 
fo  far  as  is  known  to  the  editor,  is  the  fole  exifting  difcovered  monument  of  the  Affembly 
which  brought  it  into  being. 

The  letter  from  Richard  Kemp,  Secretary  of  the  Colony  of  Virginia,  to  Sir  Francis 
Windebank,  Secretary  of  State,  dated  April  6,  1638,  gives  a  contemporary  account  of 
the  important  feffion  of  the  Affembly  of  1637/38,  and  is,  therefore,  of  courfe,  well  en- 
titled to  a  place  in  this  Appendix. 

The  bill  of  f ale  of  the  fhip  Leopoldus  to  Walter  Chiles  is  of  importance  as  fhowing  the 
participation  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes  in  the  commonwealth  period  in  executive  trans- 
adlions.  For  the  order  of  Affembly  fetting  forth  that  the  fhip  fhould  be  fold,  fee  p.  91. 

The  letter  from  Henry  Lawrence,  Lord  Prefident,  and  Council  of  State  to  the  governor 
and  General  Affembly  of  Virginia — the  term  "General  Affembly"  is  ufed  in  the  letter, 
and  not  "Grand  Affembly,"  though  the  latter  was  the  term  ufed  in  Virginia  at  the  time 
for  the  colonial  legiflature — might  from  one  point  of  view  have  been  more  properly 
printed  in  the  body  of  this  volume  than  in  the  Appendix,  for  it  is  a  communication  to  the 
General  Affembly,  fuch  a  communication  as  the  letter  from  King  Charlesl  to  the  governor, 
Council,  and  Affembly  of  Virginia  printed  on  p.  70.  Such  a  communication  was  always 
undoubtedly  read  before  the  full  Affembly  at  the  feffion  following  receipt  and  fpread 
upon  the  Journal,  certainly  of  the  Houfe,  and  poffibly  of  the  Council  if  at  that  time  the

Council  kept  a  Journal  of  their  proceedings  as  a  branch  of  the  legiflative  body,  which, 
indeed,  is  very  doubtful.  Thus  from  the  point  of  view  of  Virginia  the  letter  would  be- 
come a  legiflative  document.  If  this  letter  was  adlually  fent  to  Virginia  and  received 
there,  it  would  have  been  read  at  the  feffion  held  in  November,  1654,  and  fpread  upon  the 
Journals,  and  certainly  the  compiler  of  the  Library  of  Congrefs  "Randolph  Manufcript" 
or  the  compiler  of  the  "Bland  Manufcript"  would  have  thought  it  of  fufiicient  importance 
for  him  to  copy  it  in  full.  It  has,  however,  been  noticed  by  neither.  Furthermore,  the 
letter  contains  the  following  injunftion  relative  to  the  continuance  of  Colonel  Bennett 
in  the  oflfice  of  governor  of  Virginia:  "And  to  the  intent  it  may  not  fuflfer  any  Inconven- 
ience by  the  unfixtdnes  of  the  governm'  His  Highnes  hath  though  fitt  to  Continue  Col- 
onell  Bennett  (of  whom  his  Highnes  hath  received  a  good  Charadter)  in  execution  of  the 
place  of  Govemo',  till  his  Highnes  fhall  further  fignifie  his  pleafure  in  that  behalf,  which 
you  may  in  probability  expedt  by  the  next  Ships."  However,  the  facft  is  that,  though 
fo  far  as  is  known  no  further  communication  was  in  the  meanwhile  received  on  the  fub- 
jedl  in  Virginia,  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes  on  March  31,  1655,  ele(5led  Edward  Diggs  as 
governor.  It  is  argued  that  had  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes  had  the  letter  from  which  the 
above  extradl  is  taken,  they  would  hardly  have  been  fo  bold  as  to  go  counter  to  the  in- 
ftru(5tion.  Since,  then,  fome  uncertainty  exifts  as  to  whether  the  letter  was  received  in 
Virginia,  it  has  been  printed  in  the  Appendix  to  this  volume  rather  than  in  the  main 
body  of  the  volume. 

The  next  paper  in  the  Appendix,  namely,  the  order  of  the  Council  of  State  in  Eng- 
land in  reference  to  the  appointment  of  a  governor  in  Virginia,  dated  December  18,  1657, 
is  merely  given  as  interefting  and  important  fubfidiary  hiftorical  material,  although 
nothing  came  of  the  recommendation  to  the  lord  prote(5lor  made  therein. 

The  next  paper,  namely,  the  order  of  the  Houfe  of  Burgeffes  in  the  1657/58  fes- 
fion  naming  the  governor  and  Council  of  Virginia  until  the  next  meeting  of  the  Ai fembly 
or  until  the  further  pleafure  of  the  fupreme  power  in  England  fhould  be  known,  fhould 
have  been  printed,  undoubtedly,  in  the  body  of  this  volume,  as  are  the  fimilar  orders 
of  the  Commonwealth  period,"  but  was  omitted  by  overfight.  However,  the  fame  lift 
is  given  in  the  proceedings  on  p.  113,  but  not  in  the  fame  order.  It  will  be  feen  from  what 
is  there  given  that  the  governor  named  the  members  of  the  Council  in  the  firft  place,  and 
that  they  were  confirmed  by  the  Houfe.  The  order  given  in  the  Appendix  is  the  formal 
order  placed  in  front  of  the  laws  for  the  year.  It  fhould  be  dated  fome  time  after  the  3d 
of  April,  the  date  of  entry  in  the  Journal,  above  referred  to. 

The  paper  next  in  order  is  the  order  of  the  Council  of  State,  dated  Auguft  31,  1658, 
fetting  forth  the  reafons  why  they  were  impelled  to  write  a  letter  of  advice  and  inftruc- 
tion  to  the  governor  and  Council  of  Virginia,  and  giving  the  letter  in  full.  Before  the 
letter  could  be  dif patched,  however,  Oliver  Cromwell  died,  and  it  was  neceffary  to  change 
fomewhat  the  wording. 

The  changed  letter  duly  appears  incorporated  in  the  Journal  of  the  Houfe  of  Bur- 
geffes for  the  1658/59  feffion  and  was  copied  therefrom  in  full  by  the  compiler  of  the 
Library  of  Congrefs  "Randolph  Manufcript."  Accordingly,  it  appears  in  the  body  of 
this  volume. 

The  laft  paper  appearing  in  this  Appendix  confifts  of  certain  orders  of  the  March, 
1660/61,  Af fembly,  and  fhould  have  been  printed  in  the  preceding  volume  of  this  feries 
with  the  mafs  of  other  orders  of  that  feffion  printed  there,"  but  they  were  not  found  by 
the  editor  in  time.  They  are  printed  here  from  the  "Virginia  Magazine  of  Hiftory  and 
Biography,"  from  the  Library  of  Congrefs  "Randolph  Manufcript,"  which  is  the  fource 
of  thofe,  alfo,  printed  in  the  preceding  volume  from  Hening's  "Statutes  at  Large."

The  moft  convenient  place  we  could  finde  to  fitt  in  was  the  Quire  of  the  Churche, 
Where  Sir  George  Yeardley  the  Govemour  being  fett  downe  in  his  accuftomed  place, 
thofe  of  the  Counfel  of  Eftate  fate  nexte  him  on  both  handes  excepte  onely  the  Secretary 
then  appointed  Speaker,  who  fate  right  before  him;  John  Twine  clerke  of  the  General 
Affembly  being  placed  nexte  the  Speaker  and  Thomas  Pierfe  the  Sergeant  ftanding  at 
the  barre,  to  be  ready  for  any  fervice  the  Affembly  fhould  coifiand  him.  But  for  as 
muche  as  mens  affaires  doe  little  prof  per  where  Gods  fervice  is  neglecfted ;  all  the  Burgeffes 
took  their  places  in  the  Quire,  till  a  Prayer  was  faid  by  M'  Bucke,  the  Minifter,  that  it 
would  pleafe  God  to  guide  us  &  fandlifie  all  our  proceedings  to  his  owne  glory,  and  the 
good  of  this  Plantation,  Prayer  being  ended,  to  the  intente  that  as  wee  had  begim  at  God 
Almighty  foe  wee  might  proceed  w""  awful  and  due  refpeAe  towards  his  Lieutenant, 
our  moft  gratious  &  dread  Soveraigne,  all  the  Burgeffes  were  intreated  to  retyre  them- 
felves  into  the  body  of  the  Churche;  w^*"  being  done,  before  they  were  fully  admitted, 
they  were  called  in  order  &  by  name,  &  fo  every  man  (none  ftaggering  at  it)  tooke  the 
oathe  of  Supremacy,  &  then  entered  the  Affembly,  At  Captaine  Warde  the  Speaker 
tooke  exception,  as  at  one  that  without  any  Coihiffion  or  authority,  had  featted  him- 
felfe  either  upon  the  Companies,  and  then  his  Plantation  could  not  be  lawfull,  or  on 
Captaine  Martin?,  Lande,  and  fo  he  was  but  a  limbe  or  member  of  him,  &  fo  there  could 
be  but  two  Burgeffes  for  all.  So  Captaine  Warde  was  comanded  to  abfente  himfelfe, 
till  fuch  time  as  the  Affembly  had  agreed  what  was  fitt  for  him  to  doe.  After  muche 
debate  they  refolved  on  this  order  following, 

An  order  concluded  by  the  General  Affembly  concerning  Captaine  Warde 
July  30""  1619  at  the  opening  of  the  faid  Affembly. 

At  the  reading  of  the  names  of  the  Burgeffes  Exception  was  taken  ag"  Cap'  Warde 
as  having  planted  here  in  Virginia,  without  any  authority  or  comiffion  from  the  Trefurer 
Counfell  &  Company  in  Englande,  But  confidering  he  had  bene  at  fo  great  chardge  & 
paines  to  augmente  this  Colony,  and  had  adventured  his  owne  perfon  in  the  adtion,  and 
fince  that  time  had  brought  home  a  goode  quantity  of  fifhe  to  relieve  the  Colony  by 
waye  of  trade;  and  above  all,  becaufe  the  Comiffion  for  authorifmg  the  General  Affembly 
admitteth  of  two  Burgeffes  out  of  every  plantation  with  out  ref train te  or  exception, 
Upon  all  thefe  confiderations  fhe  Affembly  was  contented  to  admitt  of  him  &  his  Lieu- 
tenant (as  members  of  their  body  &  Burgeffes  into  their  fociety,  provided  that  the  faid 
Captaine  Warde,  w""  all  expeidition,  that  is  to  faye,  between  this  &  the  nexte  genera 
Affembly  (all  lawful  impediments  excepted)  fhould  procure  from  the  Trefurer  & 
Counfell  &  Company  in  Englande  a  comiffion  lawfully  to  eftablifhe  &  plant  himfelfe 
&  his  Company,  as  the  Chiefes  of  other  Plantations  have  done.  And  in  cafe  he  doe 
negle(5t  this,  he  is  to  ftande  to  the  cenfure  of  the  nexte  Generall  Affembly.  To  this 
Captaine  Warde,  in  the  prefence  of  us  all,  having  given  his  confente,  and  undertaken  to 
performe  the  fame,  was  together  w""  his  Lieu",  by  the  voices  of  the  whole  Affembly 
firft  admitted  to  take  the  oath  of  Supremacy  &  then  to  make  up  their  number,  &  to 
fitt  amongft  them. 

This  being  done,  the  Governour  himfelfe  alledged  that  before  we  proceeded  any 
further,  it  behooved  us  to  examine,  whither  it  were  fitt,  that  Captaine  Martins  Burgeffes 
fhoulde  have  any  place  in  the  Affembly,  for  as  muche  as  he  hath  a  claufe  in  his  Patente 
W''  doth  not  onely  exempte  him  from  that  equality  &  uniformity  of  Lawes  &  orders, 
w'=''  the  great  charter  faith,  are  to  extende  over  the  whole  Colony,  but  alfo  from  diverfe 
fuche  lawes  as  we  muft  be  enforced  to  make  in  the  general  Affembly,  That  claufe  is  as 
followeth.  Item,  That  it  fhall  and  may  be  lawfull  to  &  for  the  faid  Cap'  John  Martin 
his  heyers,  executours  and  affignes,  to  governe,  &  comaunde  all  fuch  perfon  or  perfons, 
as  at  this  time  he  fhall  carry  over  with  him,  or  that  fhall  be  fente  him  hereafter,  free 
from  any  comaunde  of  the  Colony,  excepte  it  be  in  ayding  Sz  affifting  the  fame  ag" 
any  forren  or  domeftical  Enemy, 

Upon 


(  5   ) 

Upon  the  Motion  of  the  Governour,  difcuffed  the  fame  time  in  the  Affembly, 
enfued  this  order  following 

An  Order  of  the  General  Affembly  touching  a  claufe  in  Captaine  Martins 
Patente  at  James  Citty  July  30,  1619. 

After  all  the  Burgeffes  had  taken  the  oath  of  fupremacy,  &  were  admitted  into  the 
Houfe,  &  all  fett  downe  in  their  places,  a  copie  of  Captaine  Martina  Patente  was  pro- 
duced by  the  Governour  out  of  a  Claufe  whereof  it  appeared,  that  when  the  general 
Affembly  had  made  fome  kinde  of  lawes  requifite  for  the  whole  Colony,  he  and  his 
Burgeffes  &  people  might  deride  the  whole  company  &  chufe  whether  they  would  obey 
the  fame  or  no  It  was  therefore  ordered  in  Courte,  that  the  forefaid  two  Burgeffes 
fhould  w"'drawe  themfelves  out  of  the  Affembly  till  fuch  time  as  Captaine  Martin  had 
made  his  perfonall  appearance  before  them,  At  what  time  if  upon  their  motion  he 
woulde  be  contente  to  quitte  &  give  over  that  parte  of  his  Patente,  and  contrary  ther- 
unto  woulde  fubmitte  himfelfe  to  the  general!  forme  of  govememente  as  all  others  did, 
that  then  his  Burgeffes  fhould  be  readmitted,  otherwife  they  were  utterly  to  be  excluded, 
as  being  fpies,  rather  than  loyal  Burgeffes;  becaufe  they  had  offered  themfelves  to  be 
affiftant  at  the  making  of  the  Lawes,  w^*'  both  themfelves,  and  thofe  whom  they  repre- 
f  en  ted  might  chufe  whether  they  woulde  obeye  or  not. 

Then  came  in  a  complainte  ag"  Captaine  Martin  that  having  fente  his  Shallop  to 
trade  for  come  into  the  baye  under  the  comaunde  of  Enfigne  Harrifon,  the  faide  Enfigne 
fhoulde  affirme  to  one  Thomas  Davis,  of  Pajpaheighs,  Gent  (as  the  faid  Thomas  Davis 
depofed  upon  oathe)  that  they  had  made  a  harde  voiage,  had  they  not  mett  w""  a  Canoa 
coming  Out  of  a  creeke,  where  their  Shallop  could  not  goe.  For  the  Indians  refufing  to 
fell  their  Come,  thofe  of  the  fhallop  entered  the  Canoa  w"'  their  armes  &  tooke  it  by 
force,  meafuring  out  the  come  w""  a  baskett  they  had,  into  the  fhallop  and  (as  the  faid 
Enfigne  Harrifon  faith)  given  them  fatisfa(!T;ion  in  Copper,  Beades,  and  other  trucking 
Stuffe,  Hitherto  M'  Davys  upon  his  oath. 

Further  more  it  was  fignified  from  Opochancano  to  the  Governour  that  thefe  people 
had  complaind  to  him  to  procure  them  iuftice.  For  w'^''  confiderations  &  becaufe  fuche 
outrages  as  this  might  breed  danger  and  loffe  of  life  to  others  of  the  Colony,  w*^*"  fhould 
have  leave  to  trade  in  the  Baye  hereafter,  &  for  prevention  of  the  like  violences  ag" 
the  Indians  in  time  to  come,  this  order  following  was  agreed  on  by  the  Generall  Affembly : 
A  fecond  order  made  againft  Captaine  Martin,  at  James  Citty,  July  30""  1619. 

It  was  alfo  ordered  by  the  Affembly  the  fame  daye,  that  in  cafe  Captaine  Martin 
and  the  ging  of  his  fhallop  could  not  throughly  anfwere  an  accufation  of  an  outrage 
cotnitted  againft  a  certaine  Canoa  of  Indians  in  the  Baj'e,  that  then  it  was  thought 
reafon  (his  Patente  notw"'ftanding  the  authority  whereof  he  had  in  that  cafe  abufed) 
he  fhoulde  from  henceforth  take  leave  of  the  Governor  as  other  men,  &  fhould  putt  in 
fecurity,  that  his  people  fhall  comitte  no  fuch  outrage  any  more 

Upon  this  a  letter  or  warrant  was  drawen  in  the  name  of  the  whole  Affembly  to 
fumon  Captaine  Martin  to  appeare  before  them  in  forme  following: 
By  the  Govern'  and  generall  Affembly  of  Virginia. 

Captaine  Martine,  we  are  to  requeft  you  upon  fight  hereof,  with  all  convenient 
fpeed  to  repaire  hither  to  James  Citty,  to  treate  &  conferre  w"'  us  about  fome  matters 
of  efpiciale  importance,  w^  conceme  both  us,  and  the  whole  Colony,  &  your  felfe.  And 
of  this  we  pray  you  not  to  faile, 

James  Citty,  July  30""  16 19. 
To  our  very  loving  friend  Capt"'  John  Martin  Ef quire,  Mafter  of  the  Ordinance. 

Thefe  obftacles  removed,  the  Speaker,  who  a  long  time  had  bene  extreame  fickly, 
and  therefore  not  able  to  paffe  through  long  harangues,  delivered  in  briefe  to  the  whole 
affembly  the  occafions  of  their  meeting,  W'^''  done,  he  read  unto  them  the  comiffion  for 
eftablifhing  the  Counfell  of  Eftate  &  the  Generall  Affembly,  wherein  their  duties  were 
defcribed  to  the  Hfe, 

Having

Having  thus  prepared  them,  he  read  over  unto  them  the  greate  Charter  or  comiffion 
of  priviledges,  orders  &  lawes  fente  by  Sir  George  Yeardly  out  of  Englande  w'^''  for  the 
more  eafe  of  the  Committees,  having  divided  into  fower  books,  he  read  the  former  two 
the  fame  forenoon,  for  expeditions  fake,  a  fecond  time  over,  &  fo  they  were  referred  to  the 
perufall  of  twoe  Comittees,  w^*"  did  reciprocally  confider  of  either,  &  accordingly  brought 
in  their  opinions.  But  fome  man  may  here  objedle  to  what  ende  we  fhoulde  prefume  to 
refferre  that  to  the  examination  of  Committees,  w""  the  Counfell  &  Company  in  Eng- 
lande had  already  refolved  to  be  perfe(5l  &  did  expedle  nothinge  but  our  affente  there 
unto.  To  this  we  anfwere,  that  we  did  it  not  to  the  ende  to  corredle  or  controll  any 
thing  therein  contained,  but  onely  in  cafe  we  fhould  finde  ought  not  perfe(5lly  fquaring 
w""  the  ftate  of  this  Colony,  or  any  lawe  w^*-  did  preffe  or  binde  too  harde,  that  wee 
might  by  waye  of  humble  petition  feeke  to  have  it  redreffed;  efpecially  becaufe  this 
great  Charter  is  to  binde  us  &  our  heyers  for  ever.

Thefe  Comittees  thus  appointed,  we  brake  up  the  firft  forenoons  Affembly. 
After  dinner  the  Govemo'  and  thofe  that  were  not  of  the  Comittees  fate  a  feconde 
time,  while  the  faid  Comittees  were  employed  in  the  perufall  of  thofe  twoe  bookes. 
And  whereas  the  Speaker  had  propounded  fower  feverall  obje(5ls  for  the  Affembly  to 
confider  on  namely  firft,  the  great  charter  of  orders,  lawes  &  priviledges,  Secondly  which 
of  the  inftru(5lions  given  by  the  Counfell  in  England  to  my  Lord  le  Warre,  Captaine 
Argall  or  Sir  George  Yeardley,  might  conveniently  putt  on  the  habite  of  Lawes;  Thirdly

the  Govemo'  for  expeditions  fake  to  have  the  fecond  objedle  of  the  fower  to  be  examined

the  next  morning. 


Satturday  July  3  *  • 

THE  nexte  daye  therefore  out  of  the  opinions  of  the  faid  Comittees,  it  was  agreed, 
thofe  Petitions  enfuing  fhould  be  framed,  to  be  prefented  to  the  Treafurer 
Counfel  &  Company  in  England.  Upon  the  Comittees  perufall  of  the  firft 
Book,  the  Generall  Affembly,  doe  become  moft  humble  fuitours  to  their 
lo"'  and  to  the  reft  of  that  hon*"''  Counfell  and  renowned  Company,  that  albeit  they 
have  bene  pleas'd  to  allotte  unto  the  Govern'  to  themfelves  together  w""  the  Counfell 
of  Eftate  here,  &  to  the  Officers  of  Incorporations,  certain  large  portions  of  lande  to 
be  layde  out  w"'in  the  limites  of  the  fame,  yet  that  they  would  vouchfafe  alfo,  that 
fuch  groundes  as  heretofore  had  bene  granted  by  patent  to  the  antient  Planters  by  former 
Govemours,  that  had  from  the  Company  received  Comiffion  fo  to  doe,  might  not  nowe, 
after  fo  muche  labour  &  cofte,  &  fo  many  yeares  habitation  be  taken  from  them.    And 

to 


(  7  ) 

to  the  ende  that  no  man  might  doe  or  fuffer  any  wrong  in  this  kinde,  that  they  woulde 
favour  us  fo  muche  (if  they  meane  to  graunte  this  our  petition)  as  to  fende  us  notice, 
what  coriiiffion  or  authority  for  graunting  of  landes  they  have  given  to  cache  particular 
Govemour  in  times  pafte. 

The  feconde  petition  of  the  General  Affembly  framed  by  the  Comittees  out  of  the 
fecond  book  is,  that  the  Trefurer  &  Company  in  England  would  be  pleafed  w^"*  as  muche 
convenient  fpeede  as  may  bee  to  fende  men  hither  to  occupie  their  landes  belonging  to  the 
fower  Incorporations,  as  well  for  their  owne  behoofe  and  proffitt  as  for  the  maintenance 
of  the  Counfel  of  Eftate,  who  are  no  we  to  their  extream  hindrance  often  drawen  far 
from  their  private  bufines,  &  likewife  that  they  will  have  a  care  to  fende  tenants  to  the 
minifters  of  the  fower  Incorporations  to  manure  their  gleab,  to  the  intente  that  the 
allowance  they  have  allotted  them  of  200  li.  a  yeare  may  the  more  eafily  be  railed. 

The  thirde  Petition  humbly  prefented  by  this  General  Affembly  to  the  Treafurer, 
Counfell  &  Compy  is,  that  it  may  plainely  be  expreffed  in  the  great  Comiffion  (as  indeed 
it  is  not)  that  the  antient  Planters  of  both  fortes,  viz.,  fuche  as  before  Sir  Thomas  Dales 
departure  were  come  hither  upon  their  owne  charges,  and  fuche  alfo  as  were  brought 
hether  upon  the  Companies  cofte,  maye  have  their  fecond,  third,  &  more  divifions 
fucceffively  in  as  lardge  and  free  manner  as  any  other  Planters.  Alfo  that  they  will  be 
pleafed  to  allowe  to  the  male  children,  of  them  &  of  all  others  begotten  in  Virginia, 
being  the  onely  hope  of  a  Pofterity,  a  fmgle  fhare  a  piece,  and  fhares  for  their  wives  as 
for  themfelves,  becaufe  that  in  a  newe  plantation  it  is  not  knowen  whether  man  or 
woman  be  the  moft  neceffary. 

Their  fourth  Petition  is  to  befeech  the  Treafurer  Counfell  &  Company  that  they 
would  be  pleafed  to  appoint  a  Sub-Trefurer  here  to  colle(5le  their  rentes,  to  the  ende 
that  the  Inhabitants  of  this  Colony  be  not  tyed  to  an  impoffibility  of  paying  the  fame 
yearly  to  the  Treafurer  in  England,  &  that  they  would  enjoine  the  faid  Sub  Treafurer 
not  precifely  according  to  the  Letter  of  the  Charter  to  exadle  mony  of  us  (whereof  we 
have  none  at  all,  as  we  have  no  minte)  but  the  true  value  of  the  rente  in  comodity. 

The  fifte  Petition  is  to  befeeche  the  Treafurer  the  Counfell  &  Company,  that  towards 
the  erefting  of  the  Univerfity  and  CoUedge,  they  will  fende,  when  they  fhall  thinke 
moft  convenient,  workmen  of  all  fortes  fitt  for  that  purpofe. 

The  fixte  and  lafte  is,  that  they  will  be  pleafed  to  change  the  favage  name  of  Kiccow- 
tan,  &  to  give  that  Incorporation  a  newe  name. 

Thefe  are  the  feveral  Petitions  drawen  by  the  Comittees  out  of  the  two  former 
bookes  w"^*"  the  whole  general  Affembly  in  maner  &  forme  above  fett  downe  doe  moft 
humbly  offer  up  and  prefent  to  the  favourable  conftruAion  of  the  Treafurer  Counfell 
&  Company  in  England, 

Thefe  petitions  thus  concluded  on,  thofe  twoe  Comittees  broughte  in  a  reporte, 
what  they  had  obferved  in  the  two  latter  bookes,  w^*"  was  nothing  elfe,  but  that  the 
perfeAion  of  them  was  fuche  as  they  could  finde  nothing  therein  fubjecft  to  exception. 
Only  the  Govern"  particular  opinion  to  my  felfe  in  private  hathe  bene,  as  touching  a 
claufe  in  the  thirde  booke,  that  in  thefe  doubtfull  times  between  us  and  the  Indians, 
it  would  behoove  us  not  to  make  fo  lardge  diftances  between  Plantation  &  Plantation 
as  ten  miles  but  for  our  more  ftrength  &  fecurity  to  drawe  nearer  together. 

At  the  fame  time,  there  remaining  no  farther  fcruple  in  the  mindes  of  the  Affembly 
touching  the  faid  great  Charter  of  Lawes  orders  and  privUedges,  the  Speaker  putt  the 
fame  to  the  queftion,  &  fo  it  had  both  the  general  affent  &  the  applaufe  of  the  whole 
Affembly ;  who  as  they  profeffed  themfelves  in  the  firf t  place  moft  fubmiffively  thankfull 
to  Almighty  God  therefore,  fo  they  commaunded  the  Speaker  to  retume  (as  nowe  he 
doth)  their  due  and  humble  thankes  to  the  Treafurer,  Counfell  &  Company  for  fo  many 
privilidges  &  favours  as  well  in  their  owne  names,  as  in  the  names  of  the  whole  Colony 
whom  they  reprefented. 

This  being  difpatched,  we  fell  once  more  to  debating  of  fuche  inftrudlions  given  by 
the  Counfell  in  England  to  feveral  Gover°"  as  might  be  converted  into  lawes,  the  laft 

whereof 


(  8   ) 

whereof  was  the  eftablifhment  of  the  price  of  Tobacco,  namely  of  the  beft  at  3s  and  of 
the  fecond  at  i8d  the  pounde.  At  the  reading  of  this  the  Affembly  thought  good  to 
fend  for  M'  Abraham  Pcrfey,  the  Cape-  Marchant  to  pubUfhe  this  inftrucftion  to  him, 
&  to  demande  of  him  if  he  knewe  any  impediment  why  it  might  not  be  admitted  of. 
His  anfwere  was  that  he  had  not  as  yet  received  any  fuche  order  from  the  Adventurers 
of  the  Magazin  in  England,  And  not  w"'ftanding  he  fawe  the  authority  was  good, 
yet  he  was  unwilling  to  yield,  till  fuche  time  as  the  Gov"  &  Affembly  had  layd  their 
comandment  upon  him,  out  of  the  authority  of  the  forefaid  Inftrudlions  as  followeth: 

By  the  General  Affembly 
We  will  &  require  you,  M'  Abraham  Perfey,  Cape  Marchant,  from  this  daye  for- 
warde  to  take  notice,  that  according  to  an  article  in  the  Inftru(5tions  confirmed  by  the 
Treafurer,  Counfell  &  Company  in  Englande  at  a  General  quarter  Courte,  bothe  by 
voices  and  under  their  handes  &  the  Comon  feale,  and  given  to  Sir  George  Yeardley, 
Knight,  this  prefent  governour,  Dec'  i,  161 8,  that  you  are  bounde  to  accepte  of  the 
Tobacco  of  the  Colony,  either  for  commodities  or  upon  bills  at  three  fhillings  the  beft, 
&  the  fecond  forte  at  iSd  the  pounde,  and  this  fhall  be  yovu"  fuflficient  difchardge. 
James  Citty  out  of  the  faid  General  Affembly  July  31,  1619. 

At  the  fame  time  the  Inftru(5tions  convertible  into  Lawes  were  referred  to  the 
confideration  of  the  above  named  Committees,  viz.,  the  general  Inftrudtions  to  the

R.  SHELLEY  one  of  the  Burgeffes  deceaffed. 


Monday  Aug.  2 

CAPTAINE  John  Martin  (according  to  the  fuifions  fent  him  on  Friday,  July, 
30.)  made  his  perfonall  appearance  at  the  barre,  when  as  the  Speaker  having, 
fiirft  read  unto  him  the  orders  of  the  Affembly  that  concerned  him,  he  pleaded 
lardgely  for  himfelf  to  them  both,  &  indevoured  to  anfwere  fome  other  thinges 
that  were  objedted  ag"  his  Patente,  In  fine  being  demanded  out  of  the  former  order, 
whether  he  wovild  quitte  that  claufe  of  his  Patent,  w""  (quite  otherwife  then  Sir  William 
Throckmorton^,  Captain  Chriftopher  Latvnes,  and  other  mens  patentes)  exempteth 
himfelfe  &  his  people  from  all  fervices  of  the  Colonic,  excepte  onely  in  cafe  of  warre 
ag"  a  forren  or  domefticall  eneme.  His  anfwere  was  negative,  that  he  would  not  infringe 
any  parte  of  his  Patente.  Whereupon  it  was  refolved  by  the  Affembly,  that  his  Burgeffes 
fhould  have  no  admittance. 

To  the  fecond  order  his  anfwere  was  affirmative,  namely,  that  (his  Patente  not- 
withftanding)  whenfoever  he  fhould  fende  into  the  Baye,  to  trade,  he  woulde  be  contente 
to  putt  in  fecurity  to  the  Governour  for  the  good  behaviour  of  his  people  towardes  the 
Indians. 

It  was  at  the  fame  time  further  ordered  by  the  Affembly  that  the  Speaker  in  their 
names  fhould  (as  he  nowe  doe)  humbly  demande  of  the  Treafurer  Counfell  and  Company 
an  expofition  of  this  one  claufe  in  Captaine  Martins  Patente,  namely  where  it  is  faid. 
That  he  is  to  enjoye  his  landes  in  as  lardge  &  ample  a  manner  to  all  intentes  &  purpofes, 
as  any  Lord  of  any  manours  in  England  doth  holde  his  grounde,  out  of  w""  fome  have

(9  ) 

collecSled,  that  he  might  by  the  fame  graunte  protedle  men,  from  paying  their  debtes, 
and  from  diverfe  other  dangers  of  Lawe,  The  leaft  the  Affembly  can  alledge  againft  this 
claufe  is,  that  it  is  obfcure,  &  that  it  is  a  thing  impoffible  for  us  here  to  know  the  Pre- 
rogatives of  all  the  Manours  in  Englande.  The  Affembly  therefore  humbly  befeecheth 
their  Lop'  &  the  reft  of  the  Hon'''^  boarde,  that  in  cafe  they  fhall  finde  any  thing  in 
this  or  in  any  other  parte  of  his  graunte,  whereby  that  claufe  towardes  the  conclufion 
of  the  great  charter  {viz  that  all  grauntes  as  well  of  the  one  forte  as  of  the 
other  refpedtively,  be  made  w"'  equall  favour  &  graunts  of  like  liberties  &  imunities  as 
neer  as  may  be,  to  the  ende  that  all  complainte  of  partiality  and  unindifferency  may 
be  avoided)  might  in  any  forte  be  contradidled;  or  the  uniformity  and  equality  of  lawes 
&  orders  extending  over  the  whole  Colony  might  be  impeached;  That  they  would  be 
pleafed  to  remove  any  fuch  hinderance,  as  may  diverte  out  of  the  true  courfe  the  free 
&  publique  current  of  Juftice. 

Upon  the  fame  grounde  &  reafon  their  L^p"  together  with  the  reft  of  the  Counfell 
&  Company,  are  humbly  befought  by  the  Generale  Affembly,  that  if  in  that  other 
claufe  W""  exempteth  Captaine  Martin  &  his  people  from  all  fervices  of  the  Colony 
«&c  they  fhall  finde  any  refiftance  ag^'  that  equality  and  uniformity  of  Lawes  &  orders 
intended  no  we  by  them  to  be  eftablifhed  over  the  whole  Colony,  that  they  would  be 
pleafed  to  reforme  it. 

In  fine,  whereas  Captaine  Martin  for  thofe  ten  fhares  allowed  him  for  his  perfonal 
adventure,  &  for  his  adventure  of  70"  befides  doth  claime  500  acres  a  fhare:  that  the 
Treafurer,  Counfell  &  Company  woulde  vouchfafe  to  give  notice  to  the  Govemour 
here,  what  kinde  of  fhares  they  meante  he  fhould  have,  when  they  gave  him  his  Patente. 

The  premiffes  about  Captaine  Martin  thus  refolved  the  Committie  appointed  to 
confider,  what  inftrucftions  are  fitt  to  be  converted  into  Lawes,  brought  in  their  opinions, 
&  firft  of  fome  of  the  general  inftru(5lions. 

Here  begin  the  lawes  drawen  out  of  the  Inftru<5tions  given  by  his  Mat'" 
Counfell  of  Virginia  in  England  to  My  Lo:  La  warre,  Captaine  Argall, 
&  Sir  George  Yeardly,  knight. 

By  this  prefent  General  Affembly  be  it  enadled  that  noe  injury  of  oppreffion  be 
wrought  by  the  Englifh  ag^'  the  Indians  whereby  the  prefent  peace  might  be  difturbed, 
&  antient  quarrels  might  be  revived.  And  farther  be  it  ordained  that  the  Chicohomini 
are  not  to  be  excepted  out  of  this  Lawe,  untill  either  that  fuch  order  come  out  of  Englande, 
or  that  they  doe  provoke  us  by  fome  newe  injury 

Againft  Idlenefs,  gaming,  drunkennes,  &  exceffe  in  apparel,  the  Affembly  hath 
enacfted  as  foUoweth 

Firft  in  deteftation  of  Idlers,  be  it  enacted,  that  if  any  man  be  founde,  to  live  as 
an  Idler  or  runegate  though  a  freed  man,  it  fhall  be  lawful!  for  that  Incorporation  or 
Plantation  to  w^*"  he  belongeth  to  appoint  him  a  M'  to  ferve  for  wages  till  he  fhewe 
apparant  fignes  of  amendment. 

Againft  gaming  at  Dice  &  Cardes  be  it  ordained  by  this  prefent  Affembly,  that  the 
winner  or  winners  fhall  lofe  all  his  or  their  winnings  &  both  winners  &  loofers  fhall 
forfaite  ten  fhillings  a  man,  one  ten  fhillinges  whereof  to  goe  to  the  difcoverer,  &  the 
reft  to  charitable  &  pious  ufes  in  the  Incorporation  where  the  faults  are  coifiitted. 

Againft  drunkenes  be  it  aKo  decreed,  that  if  any  private  perfon  be  found  culpable 
thereof,  for  the  firft  time  he  is  to  be  reprooved  privately  by  the  Minifter,  the  fecond 
time,  publiquel3^  the  Thirde  time  to  lye  in  boltes  1 2  houres  in  the  Houfe  of  the  Provoft 
Marfhall  &  to  paye  his  fees,  and  if  he  ftill  continue  in  that  vice,  to  undergo  fuche  fevere 
punifhment,  as  the  Govemo'  &  Councell  of  Eftate  fhall  think  fitt  to  be  infii(5ted  on  him. 
But  if  any  Officer  offende  in  this  crime,  the  firft  time  he  fhall  receive  a  reproof  from  the 
Govemour,  the  fecond  time  he  fhall  openly  be  reprooved  in  the  Churche  by  the  minifter, 
&  the  third  time  he  fhall  firft  be  comitted  &  then  degraded.  Provided  it  be  underftood, 
that  the  Govern'  hath  alwaies  power  to  reftore  him,  when  he  fhall,  in  his  difcretion 
thinke  fitte 

Againft 


(lO) 

Againft  exceffe  of  apparell,  that  every  man  be  ceffed  in  the  Churche  for  all  publique 
contributions,  if  he  be  unmarried  according  to  his  owne  apparrell,  if  he  be  married, 
according  to  his  owne  &  his  wives,  or  either  of  their  apparell. 

As  touching  the  Inftrudtion  of  drawing  fome  of  the  better  difpofed  of  the  Indians 
to  converfe  w""  our  people  &  to  live  &  labour  among  them,  the  Affembly  who 
know  well  their  difpofitions,  thinke  it  fitte  to  enjoine,  at  leaft  to  counfell  thofe  of  the 
Colony  neither  utterly  to  rejedle  them,  nor  yet  to  drawe  them  to  come  in.  But  in  cafe 
they  will  of  themfelves  come  voluntarily  to  places  well  peopled  there  to  doe  fervice,  in 
killing  of  Deere,  Fifhing,  beatting  Come,  &  other  workes  that  then  five  or  fixe  may  be 
admitted  into  every  fuch  place,  and  no  more,  &  that  w""  the  confente  of  the  Govemour, 
provided  that  good  guard  in  the  night  be  kept  upon  them,  for  generally  (though  fome 
amongft  many  may  proove  good)  they  are  a  moft  trecherous  people,  &  quickly  gone 
when  they  have  done  a  villany.  And  it  were  fitt,  a  houfe  were  builte  for  them  to  lodge 
in  apart  by  themfelves,  and  lone  inhabitants  by  no  meanes  to  entertaine  them. 

Be  it  enacfted  by  this  prefent  affembly,  that  for  laying  a  furer  foundation  of  the 
converfion  of  the  Indians  to  Chriftian  Religion,  eache  towne,  citty  Borrough,  &  partic- 
ular plantation  do  obtaine  unto  themfelves  by  juft  meanes  a  certaine  number  of  the 
natives  Children  to  be  educated  by  them  in  true  Religion  &  civile  courfe  of  life.  Of 
w''  children  the  moft  towardly  boyes  in  witt  &  graces  of  nature  to  be  brought  up  by 
them  in  the  firfte  Elements  of  litterature,  fo  as  to  be  fitted  for  the  CoUedge  intended  for 
them,  that  from  thence  they  may  be  fent  to  that  worke  of  converfion. 

As  touching  the  bufmes  of  planting  come,  this  prefent  Affembly  doth  ordaine,  that 
yeare  by  yeare,  all  &  every  houfeholder  and  houfeholders,  have  in  ftore  for  every  fervant 
he  or  they  fhall  keep,  &  alfo  for  his  or  their  owne  perfons,  whether  they  have  any  Servants 
or  no,  one  fpare  barrell  of  come  to  be  delivered  out  yearly  either  upon  fale  or  exchange, 
as  need  fhall  require.  For  the  negledl  of  w^""  duty  he  fhall  be  Subjedt  to  the  cenfure  of 
the  Govern'  &  Covmcell  of  Eftate,  provided  alwayes,  that  for  the  firft  yeare  of  every 
newe  man  this  Lawe  fhall  not  be  in  force. 

About  the  Plantation  of  Mulberry  trees  be  it  enadled  that  every  man,  as  he  is 
feated  upon  his  divilion,  doe  for  feven  yeares  together  every  yeare  plante  &  maintaine 
in  growth  fixe  Mulberry  trees  at  the  leafte  and  as  many  more  as  he  fhall  thinke  con- 
veniente,  &  as  his  virtue  &  induftry  fhall  moove  him  to  plante,  and  that  all  fuch  perfons 
as  fhall  negledl  the  yearly  planting  &  maintaining  of  that  fmall  proportion,  fhall  be 
Subjedle  to  the  cenfure  of  the  Govemour,  &  the  Councell  of  Eftate 

Be  it  farther  enacfted,  as  concerning  filke-flaxe  that  thofe  men  that  are  upon  their 
divifion  or  fettled  habitation  doe  this  next  yeare  plante  &  Dreffe  loo  plantes  w^''  being 
founde  a  comodity  may  farther  be  encreafed.  And  whofoever  do  faile  in  the  perform- 
ance of  this  fhall  be  fubjedl  to  the  punifhment  of  the  Govemour  &  CounceU  of  Eftate. 

For  hempe  alfo  both  Englijhe  &  Indian,  &  for  Englifhe  Flaxe  &  Annifeeds,  wee  doe 
require  &  enjoine  all  houfeholders  of  this  Colony,  that  have  any  of  thofe  feeds,  to  make 
tryal  thereof  the  nexte  feafon. 

Moreover  be  it  enacfted  by  this  prefent  Affembly,  that  every  houfeholder  doe 
yearly  plante  &  maintaine  ten  vines,  untill  they  have  attained  to  the  arte  &  experience 
of  dreffmg  a  vineyard,  either  by  their  owne  induftry,  or  by  the  inftrudtion  of  fome  Vigne- 
ron.  And  that  upon  what  penalty  foever,  the  Governo'  &  Councell  of  Eftate  fhall 
think  fitt  to  impofe  upon  the  negledlers  of  this  Adte. 

Be  it  alfo  enadled,  that  all  neceffary  tradefmen,  or  foe  many  as  need  fhall  require, 
fuche  as  are  come  over  fince  the  departure  of  Sir  Thomas  Dale,  or  that  fhall  hereafter 
come  fhall  worke  at  their  trades  for  any  other  man,  eache  one  being  payde  according  to 
the  qualitye  of  his  trade  &  worke,  to  be  eftimated,  if  he  fhall  not  be  contented,  by  the 
Govemo'  &  Officers  of  the  place  where  he  worketh. 

Be  it  further  ordained  by  this  General  Affembly  and  wee  doe  by  thefe  Prefents 
enadle,  that  all  contradls  made  in  England  betweene  the  owners  of  lande  &  their  Tenants 

and 


(II) 

and  Servantes  w^""  they  fhall  fend  hither,  may  bee  caufed  to  be  duly  performed,  and 
that  the  offenders  be  punifhed  as  the  Gover""'  &  Councell  of  Eftate  fhall  think  juft 
&  convenient. 

Be  it  eftablifhed  alfo  by  this  prefent  Affembly,  that  no  crafty  or  advantageous 
meanes  be  fufferd  to  be  putt  in  pradtice  for  the  inticing  awaye  the  Tenants  &  Servants 
of  any  particular  plantation  from  the  place  where  they  are  Seatted.  And  that  it  fhall 
be  the  duty  of  the  Governo'  &  Councell  of  Eftate  moft  feverely  to  punifhe  bothe  the 
feducers  &  the  feduced,  and  to  returne  thefe  latter  into  their  former  places. 

Be  it  further  ena(5led,  that  the  orders  for  the  Magazine  lately  made  be  exadlly 
kepte,  &  that  the  Magazine  be  preferved  from  wronge  &  fmifter  pradlifes,  &  that  accord- 
ing to  the  orders  of  Courte  in  Englatide,  all  Tobacco  &  Saffafras  be  brought  by  the 
planters  to  the  Cape  Marchant  till  fuche  time  as  all  the  goods  nowe  or  heretofore  fent 
for  the  Magazine  be  taken  off  their  handes  at  the  prices  agreed  on,  that  by  this  meanes 
the  fame  going  for  Englande  into  one  hande,  the  price  thereof,  may  be  upheld  the  better. 
And  to  the  ende  that  all  the  whole  Colony  may  take  notice  of  the  laft  order  of  Courte 
made  in  Englande,  &  all  thofe  whom  it  concerneth  may  know  how  to  obferve  it  wee 
holde  it  fitt  to  publifhe  it  here  for  a  Lawe  among  the  reft  of  our  Lawes,  the  w*'  order  is 
as  followeth. 

Upon  the  26  of  Odober  161 8,  it  was  ordered  that  the  Magazine  fhould  continue 
during  the  terme  formerly  prefixed,  &  that  certaine  abufes  nowe  complained  of  fhould 
be  reformed;  and  that  for  preventing  of  all  impofitions,  fave  the  allowance  of  25  in  the 
hundred  proffitt  the  Govemo"  fhall  have  an  invoice  as  well  as  the  Cape  Marchant,  that 
if  any  abufe  in  the  fale  of  the  goods  be  offered,  hee  upon  intelligence  &  due  examination 
thereof  fhall  fee  it  corrected.  And  for  the  encouragement  of  particular  hundreds,  as 
Smyths  Hundred,  Martins  Hundred,  Lawnes  Hundred,  &  the  like,  it  is  agreed,  that  what 
comodities  are  reaped  upon  anie  of  thefe  Severall  Colonies,  it  fhall  be  lawful!  for  them 
to  return  the  fame  to  their  owne  Adventurers.  Provided  that  the  fame  comodity  be 
of  their  owne  growing,  w"'out  trading  w""  any  other,  in  one  entyre  lumpe,  &  not  difperfed, 
&  that  at  the  determination  of  the  jointe  ftocke  the  goods  then  remaining  in  the  Magazine 
fhall  be  bought  by  the  faid  particular  Colonies  before  any  other  goods  w=^  fhall  be  fente 
by  private  men.  And  it  is  moreover  ordered,  that  if  the  Lady  La  wane,  the  Lady  Dale, 
Captain  Bargrave,  &  the  reft,  would  unite  themfelves  into  a  fettled  Colony,  they  might 
be  capable  of  the  fame  priviledges  that  are  graunted  to  any  of  the  forefaid  Hundreds. 
Hitherto  the  Order.

Tuefday  Aug.  3,  16 19. 

THIS  Morning  a  thirde  forte  of  Lawes  (fuche  as  might  proceed  out  of  every 
mans  private  conceit)  were  read  &  refferred  by  halves  to  the  fame  comittees 
w'^''  were  from  the  beginning. 

This  done  Captaine  William  Powell  prefented  to  the  affembly  a  petition, 
to  have  juftice  againft  a  lewd  and  trecherous  fervant  of  his,  who  by  falfe  accufation 
given  up  in  writing  to  the  Governour  fought  not  onely  to  get  him  depofed  from  his  govern- 
ment of  James  Citty,  and  utterly  (according  to  the  Proclamation)  to  be  degraded  from 
the  Place  &  title  of  a  Captaine,  but  to  take  his  life  from  him  alfo.  And  fo  out  of  the 
faid  Petition  fprang  this  order  following 

Captaine  William  Powell  prefented  a  petition  to  the  General  Affembly  againft  one 
Thomas  Garneit  a  fervant  of  his  not  onely  for  extream  negledl  of  his  bufmes,  to  the 
great  lofs  &  prejudice  of  the  faid  Captaine,  and  for  openly  and  impudently  abufmg  his 
Houfe,  in  fight  both  of  Mafter  and  Miftreffe,  through  wan  tonnes  w""  a  woman  fervant 
of  theirs,  a  widdowe,  but  alfo  for  falfely  accufmg  him  to  the  Govemo"'  both  of  Drunken- 
nes,  &  Thefte,  &  befides  for  bringing  his  fellow  fervants  to  teftifie  on  his  fide,  wherein 
they  juftly  failed  him.  It  was  thought  fitt  by  the  General  Affembly  (the  Governour 
himfelf  giving  fentence)  that  he  fhould  ftand  fower  dayes  with  his  eares  nayled  to  the 
Pillory,  viz  Wednefday  Aug.  4""  and  fo  likewife  Thurfday,  fryday,  &  Satturday  next 
following,  &  every  of  thofe  fower  days  fhould  be  publiquely  whipped.  Now  as  touching 
the  neglefte  of  his  worke,  what  fatisfadlion  ought  to  be  made  to  his  M'  for  that,  is 
referred  to  the  Governour  &  Councell  of  Eftate. 

The  fame  morning  the  lawes  above  written  drawen  out  of  the  Inftrucftions  were 
read,  &  one  by  one  thoroughly  examined,  &  then  paffed  once  again  the  general  confente 
of  the  whole  affembly. 

This  Afternoon  the  committies  brought  in  a  reporte,  what  they  had  done  as  con- 
cerning the  third  forte  of  Lawes,  the  difcuffing  whereof  fpente  the  refidue  of  that  daye. 
Excepte  onely  the  confideration  of  a  Petition  of  M'  John  Rolfes  againft  Cap'  John 
Martin  for  writing  a  Letter  to  him  wherein  (as  M^  Rolfe  alledgeth)  he  taxeth  him  both 
unfeemly  and  amiffe  of  certaine  things  wherein  he  was  never  faulty,  and  befides  cafteth 
fome  afperfion  upon  the  prefent  government,  w"^""  is  the  moft  temperate  &  juft  that  ever 
was  in  this  country,  too  milde  indeed  for  man\'  in  this  Colony,  whom  unwonted  liberty 
hath  made  infolente,  and  not  to  know  themfelves.  This  Petition  of  M'  Rolfes  was 
thought  fitt  to  be  referred  to  the  Councell  of  State.

by  Robert  Poole  interpretour,  upon  his  Oath  (whofe  examination  the  Gover  ■"  fente  into 
Englande  in  the  Projperus)  of  W^  accufations  of  Poole  fome  he  acknowledged  for  true, 
but  the  greateft  part  he  denyed.  Whereupon  the  General  Affembly  having  throughly 
heard,  &  confidered  his  fpeeches,  did  conftitute  this  order  following  againft  him, 

Aug. 


(15) 

Aug.  4"'  1619 

This  day  Captaine  Henry  Spelman  was  convented  before  the  General  Affembly, 
&  was  examined  by  a  relation  upon  oath  of  one  Robert  Poole  Interpreter  what  con- 
ference had  paffed  between  the  faid  Spelman  &  Opochancano  at  Pooles  meeting 
with  him  in  Opochancanos  courte.  Poole  chardgeth  him,  he  fpake  very  unreverently 
&  malicioufly  ag"  this  prefent  Govern'  wherby  the  honour  &  dignity  of  his  place  & 
perfon,  &  fo  of  the  whole  Colonic,  might  be  brought  into  Contempte,  by  w"^* 
meanes  what  mifchiefs  might  enfue  from  the  Indians  by  difturbance  of  the  Peace 
or  otherwife,  may  eafily  be  conjedlured.  Some  things  of  this  relation  Spelman 
confeffed,  but  the  moft  parte  he  denyed,  excepte  onely  one  matter  of  importance, 
&  that  was,  that  he  hade  informed  Opochancano,  that  w"'in  a  yeare  there  would  come 
a  Governour  greatter  than  this  that  nowe  is  in  place.  By  w=^  &  by  other  reportes, 
it  feemeth  he  hath  alienated  the  minde  of  Opochancano  from  this  prefent  Governour, 
&  brought  him  in  much  difefteem  both  w""  Opochancano  &  the  Indians,  &  the  whole 
Colony  in  danger  of  their  Slippery  defignes. 

The  general  affembly  upon  Pooles  teftimony  onely  not  willing  to  putt  Spelman 
to  the  rigour  &  extremity  of  the  Lawe,  w''  might  perhaps,  both  fpeedily  &  defervedly 
have  taken  his  life  from  him  (upon  the  witnefs  of  one  whom  he  muche  excepted  ag") 
were  pleafed  for  the  prefent  to  cenfure  him  rather  out  of  that  his  confeffion  above 
written,  then  out  of  any  other  proofTe.  Several  &  fharpe  punifhments  were  pronounced 
ag"  him  by  diverfe  of  the  Affembly.  But  in  fine  the  whole  courte  by  voices  united  did 
encline  to  the  moft  favourable,  w^""  was  that  for  this  mifdemeanour  he  fhould  firft  be 
degraded  of  his  title  of  Cap',  at  the  head  of  the  Troupe,  &  fhould  be  condemn ■•  to  per- 
forme  feven  yeares  fervice  to  the  Colony,  in  the  nature  of  an  Interpreter  to  the  Governour. 

This  fentence  being  read  to  Spelman  he  as  one  that  had  in  him  more  of  the  Savage 
then  of  the  Chriftian,  muttered  certaine  wordes  to  himfelfe,  neither  fhewing  any  remorfe 
for  his  offences,  nor  yet  any  thankfulnefs  to  the  Affembly  for  theire  fo  favourable 
cenfure,  w''  he  at  one  time  or  another  (Gods  grace  not  wholly  abandoning  him)  might 
w""  fome  one  fervice  have  been  able  to  have  redeemed." 

This  day  alfo  did  the  Inhabitants  of  Pafpaheigh  alias  Argalls  Towne,  prefent  a 
petition  to  the  General  Affembly  to  give  them  an  abfolute  difchardge  from  certaine 
Sondes  wherein  they  ftand  bound  to  Captaine  5awMe//  Argall  for  the  payment  of  600" 
&  to  Captaine  William  Powell  at  Captaines  Argalls  appointment,  for  the  payment  of 
50"  more  To  Captaine  Argall  for  15  Skore  acres  of  woody  ground  called  by  the  name  of 
Argalls  Towne  or  Pafpaheigh;  to  Captaine  Powell  in  refpedt  of  his  paines  in  clearing  the 
grounde,  &  building  the  houfes  for  W*"  Captaine  Argall  ought  to  have  given  him  fatisfac- 
tion.  Now,  the  general  Affembly  being  doubtful  whether  they  have  any  power  & 
authority  to  difchardge  the  faid  bondes,  doe  by  thefe  prefents  (at  the  Inftance  of  the 
faid  Inhabitants  of  Pafpaheighs,  alias  Martins  hundred  people)  become  moft  humble 
futours  to  the  Treafurer,  Counfell  &  Company  in  England  that  they  will  be  pleafed  to 
gett  the  faid  bondes  for  600"  to  be  cancelled;  for  afmuch  as  in  their  great  comiffion  they 
have  expreffly  &  by  name  appointed  that  place  of  Pafpaheigh  for  parte  of  the  Gov- 
emours  Lande.  And  wheras  Captain  William  Powell  is  payde  his  50"  w"^""  Captaine 
Argall  enjoined  the  faide  Inhabitantes  to  prefente  him  with,  as  parte  of  the  bargaine, 
the  general  affembly  at  their  intreaty  do  become  futours  on  their  behalfe,  that  Cap' 
Argall,  by  the  Counfell  &  Company  in  Englande  may  be  compelled  either  to  reftore  the 
faid  50"  from  thence,  or  elfe  that  reftitution  thereof  be  made  here,  out  of  the  goods  of 
the  faid  Captaine  Argall. 

The  laft  adle  of  the  General  Affembly  was  a  contribution  to  gratifie  their  Officers

Aug.  4th  1619 

It  is  fully  agreed  att  this  Generall  Affembly,  that  in  regarde  of  the  great  paines  & 
labour  of  the  Speaker  of  this  Affembly  (who  not  only  firft  formed  the  fame  affem- 
bly &  to  their  great  eafe  &  expedition,  reduced  all  matters  to  be  treatted  of  into

a  ready  method,  but  alfo,  his  indifpofition  notw"'ftanding  wrote  or  didlated  all  orders  & 
other  expedients,  &  is  yett  to  write  feverall  bookes  for  all  the  feverall  Incorporations 
&  plantations,  both  of  the  great  Charter,  &  of  all  the  Lawes)  &  likewife  in  refpedte  of 
the  diligence  of  the  Gierke  &  Sergeant  officers  thereto  belonging:  That  every  man  & 
manfervant  of  above  1 6  yeares  of  age  fhall  pay  into  the  handes  &  Cuf tody  of  the  Bur- 
geffes  of  every  Incorporation  &  plantation  one  pound  of  the  beft  Tobacco,  to  be  dis- 
tributed to  the  Speaker,  &  likewife  to  the  Gierke  &  Sergeant  of  the  Affembly,  according 
to  their  degrees  &  rankes,  the  whole  bulk  whereof  to  be  delivered  into  the  Speakers 
handes,  to  be  divided  accordingly.  And  in  regard  to  the  Provoft  MarfhaU  of  James 
Citty  hath  alfo  given  fome  attendance  upon  the  faid  General  Affembly,  he  is  alfo  to  have 
a  fhare  out  of  the  fame.    And  this  is  to  begin  to  be  gathered  the  24""  of  February  nexte. 

In  conclufion  the  whole  Affembly  comanded  the  Speaker  (as  nowe  he  doth)  to 
prefent  their  humble  excufe  to  the  Treafurer  Gounfell  &  Gompany  in  England,  for  being 
conf  trained  by  the  in  temperature  of  the  Weather,  &  the  falling  fick  of  diverfe  of  the 
Burgeffes,  to  breake  up  fo  abruptly  before  they  had  fo  much  as  putt  their  Lawes  to  the 
ingroffmg,  this  they  wholly  committed  to  the  fidelity  of  their  Speaker,  who  therein 
(his  Gonfcience  telles  him)  hath  done  the  part  of  an  honeft  man,  Otherwife  he  would 
eafily  be  found  out  by  the  Burgeffes  themfelves,  who  w""  all  expedition,  are  to  have 
fo  many  bookes  of  the  fame  Lawes,  as  there  be  both  Incorporations  &  Plantations,  in 
the  Golony. 

In  the  feconde  place,  the  Affembly  doth  moft  humbly  crave  pardon,  that  in  fo 
fhort  a  fpace  they  could  bring  .their  matter  to  no  more  perfection,  being  for  the  prefent 
enforced  to  fend  home  Titles  rather  then  Lawes,  Propofitions  rather  than  refolutions. 
Attempts  then  Atchievements,  hoping  their  courtefy  will  accepte  our  poore  indevour, 
and  their  wifedom  will  be  ready  to  fupporte  the  weaknes  of  this  little  flocke. 

Thirdly,  the  General  Affembly  doth  humbly  befeech  the  Treafurer  Gounfell  & 
Gompany,  that  albeit  it  belongeth  to  them  onely  to  aUowe  or  to  abrogate  any  Lawes 
w"'*'  we  fhall  here  inafte,  and  that  it  is  their  righte  fo  to  doe;  yet  that  it  would  pleafe 
them  not  to  take  it  in  ill  parte,  if  thefe  Lawes,  w^*"  we  have  nowe  brought  to  light,  do 
paffe  currant  &  be  of  force,  till  fuche  time  as  we  may  knowe  their  further  pleafure  out 
of  Englande,  for  otherwife  this  people  (who  nowe  at  length  have  gott  the  raines  of 
former  fervitude  into  their  owne  fwindge-)  would  in  fhort  time  grow  fo  infolent,  as  they 
would  fhake  off  all  govern"",  &  there  would  be  no  living  among  them. 

Their  laft  humble  fuit  is,  that  the  faid  Gounfell  &  Gompany  would  be  pleafed,  as 
foon  as  they  fhall  find  it  convenient,  to  make  good  their  promife  fett  down  at  the  con- 
clufion of  their  coihif fion  for  ef tablifhing  the  Gounfell  of  Ef tate  &  the  General  Affembly : 
namely  that  they  will  give  us  power  to  allowe  or  difaUowe  of  their  Orders  of  Gourte,  as 
his  Majefty  hath  given  them  power  to  allowe  or  to  rejedl  our  Lawes. 

In  fume  Sir  George  Yeardly  the  Gover"'  prorogued  the  faid  General  Affembly  till 
the  firft  of  Marche  which  is  to  fall  out  this  prefent  yeare  161 9,  And  in  the  mean  feafon 
diffolved  the  fame. 

'  "Swindge"  is  a  miffpelling  of  "fwinge,"  which  is  an  obfolete  word  meaning  fway,  or  power.

WEE  haue  receaued  you'  Letter  dated  at  London  the  2 2d  of  September,  1622 
[162 1],  by  the  Warwicke  arriued  heare  at  James  Cyttie  the  loth  day  of 
December,  wherein  you  haue  manifefted  fo  greate  care  of  us,  and  the  whole 
Colony  as  we  cannott  but  with  all  thankfuUnefs  acknowledg  ourfelues  much 
bounden  unto  you  for  the  fame,  before  the  receipt  of  w<=''  Letter  wee  had  (according  to 
the  inftrucflions  giuen  us)  taken  order  in  the  firfte  Seffions  of  the  generall  Affemblie, 
helde  in  Nouember  and  December,  that  great  ftore  of  Vines  and  Mulberry  trees  fhould 
be  planted  in  all  places,  and  fuch  as  were  growinge  preferued  and  had  expreffly  p'hibited 
the  deftroyinge  of  mulberry  trees  in  the  clearinge  of  Growndes. 

Att  w^  Affemblie  we  did  playnly  p'ceaue  that  the  whole  country  was  very  well 
affecfted  to  the  plantinge  of  both  and  to  the  receauing  of  filk-worme  foode,  and  that  y' 
is  our  emeft  defire  that  you  woulde  be  pleafed  to  proceed  in  this  courfe,  and  of  fending 
us  all  fortes  of  Vines  in  greate  abundance,  as  alfoe  greate  ftore  of  all  fortes  of  the  beft 
graine,  as  wheate,  Barlie,  Gates,  and  peafe  of  all  the  beft  kindes,  for  though  wee  bee  very 
defirous  to  falle  to  the  fowinge  of  all  forts  of  our  Englifhe  graine  as  well  as  Indian  (fince 
this  Countrey  is  very  p'per  for  them,  and  that  there  [is]  fo  much  cleare  grounde  in  the 
Colonic)  wherein  a  plowe  may  be  able  to  goe  yet  are  wee  at  this  tyme  very  much  un- 
provided of  any  good  feed  come,  for  our  wheate  w*'  was  firfte  brought  hither  from  the 
French  Colonic  is  not  only  of  a  fmall  and  bad  kinde,  but  hath  been  alfo  much  decaied 
(fince  it  came  hither)  for  wante  of  well  cultivatinge  the  grounde. 

For  the  drawinge  of  the  People  from  the  exceffiue  plantinge  of  Tobacco,  wee  haue 
by  the  confent  of  the  generall  Affemblie  reftrayned  them  to  one  hundred  plants  ye 
headd,  uppon  cache  of  w^  plantes  there  are  to  bee  left  butt  onely  nyne  leaues  w'' 
p'portions  as  neere  as  could  be  gueffed,  was  generally  conceaued  would  be  agreeable 
wth  the  hundred  waight  you  haue  allowed.  By  w^""  meanes  as  alfo  by  the  courfe  that 
we  haue  taken  for  the  keepinge  of  euery  man  to  his  Trade  we  doubt  nott  butt  very 
much  to  preuent  the  Imoderate  plantinge  of  Tobacco.  But  nothinge  can  more  encourage 
all  men  to  the  plantinge  of  come  in  abundance  and  foe  diuert  them  from  plantinge 
of  Tobacco,  then  you  would  be  pleafed  (fince  y'  you  defire  that  greate  plenty  of  Come 
bee  planted  here  as  well  for  fuch  multitudes  of  people  as  you  hope  yearly  to  fend  ouer, 
as  for  our  owne  felues  to  allow  us  a  Marchantable  Rate  here  for  our  Come,  either  to 
bee  paide  by  Bills  of  Exchange  in  England  or  in  Coifiodities  to  be  deliuered  here  at  25 
p.  centum,  the  prife  of  75  the  Bufhell  being  p'pofed  by  the  generall  Affemblie  was  by  us 
thought  very  reasonable  fince  the  Come  you  fend  ouer  befides  the  hazard  of  being  loft 
or  fpoyled  at  Sea,  doth  ftand  you  in  as  much  or  more  the  charge  or  fraight  in  Cask 
confidered. 

By  the  confent  of  the  laft  Generall  Affemblie  there  y'  a  large  Contribution  to  be 
underwritten  for  the  buildinge  of  a  howfe  of  Entertainment  at  James  *  *  *  and

The  anfwere  of  the  Generall  Affembly  in  Virginia  to  a  Declaration  of  the  ftate  of  the 
Colonic  in  the  12  yeers  of  S^  Thomas  Smiths  Gonerment,  exhibited  by  Alderman 
John  J  on  and  others. 

HOLDINGE  it  a  fmne  againft  God,  and  ou'  owne  fufferinge,  to  fufifer  the  World 
to  be  abufed  w""  untrue  reportes,  and  to  giue  unto  vice  the  reward  of  vertue, 
we  in  the  name  of  the  whole  Colonic  of  Virginia,  in  our  generall  affembly, 
many  of  us  hauing  beene  eye  witneffes  and  patients  of  thofe  tymes  haue 
framed  out  of  our  duty  to  this  country,  and  loue  unto  truth,  this  Difmaskinge  of  thofe 
prayfes  w*^''  are  contayned  in  the  forefaid  declarationes. 

In  thofe  12  yeers  of  S'  Tho:  Smith  his  gouerment,  we  auerr  that  the  Colony  for  y 
moft  p'te  remayned  in  greate  want  and  mifcry  under  moft  feuere  and  Crewell  lawes 
f ent  ouer  in  printe,  and  contrary  to  the  expreffe  Letter  of  the  Kinge  in  his  moft  gracious 
Charter,  and  as  mercyleffly  executed,  often  times  wthout  tryall  or  Judgment.  The 
allowance  in  thofe  tymes  for  a  man  was  only  eight  ounces  of  meale  and  half  a  pinte  of 
peafe  for  a  daye  the  one  &  y*  other  mouldy,  rotten,  full  of  Cobwebs  and  Maggots  loath- 
fome  to  man  and  not  fytt  for  beafts,  w"^*"  forced  many  to  flee  for  reliefe  to  the  Savage 
Enemy,  who  being  taken  againe  were  putt  to  fundry  deaths  as  by  hanginge,  fhootinge 
and  breakinge  uppon  the  wheele  &  others  were  forced  by  famine  to  filch  for  their  bellies, 
of  whom  one  for  fteelinge  2  or  3  pints  of  oatmeale  had  a  bodkinge  thruft  through  his 
tongue  and  was  tyed  w""  a  chaine  to  a  tree  untill  he  ftarued,  yf  a  man  through  his  fick- 
nefs  had  not  been  able  to  worke,  he  had  no  allowance  at  all,  and  fo  confequently  perifhed 
many  through  thefe  extremities,  being  weery  of  life  digged  holes  in  the  earth  and  hidd 
themfelues  till  they  famifhed. 

We  cannott  for  this  our  fcarfitie  blame  our  Coiiianders  heere,  in  refpedl  that  o' 
fuftenance  was  to  come  from  England,  for  had  they  at  that  time  giuen  us  noe  better 
allowance  we  had  perifhed  in  generall,  fo  lamentable  was  ovir  fcarfitie  that  we  were 
conf trained  to  eat  Doggs,  Catts,  ratts.  Snakes,  Toad-ftooles,  horfehides  and  w'  nott, 
one  man  out  of  the  myfery  he  endured,  killinge  his  wiefe  powdered  her  upp  to  eate  her, 
for  w""  he  was  burned.  Many  befides  fedd  on  the  Corps  of  dead  men,  and  one  who  had 
gotten  unfatiable,  out  of  cuftome  to  that  foode  could  not  be  reftrayned,  until  fuch  tyme 
as  he  was  executed  for  it,  and  indeed  foe  miferable  was  our  eftate  that  the  happyeft 
day  that  euer  fome  of  them  hoped  to  fee,  was  when  the  Indyans  had  killed  a  mare  they 
wifhing  whilft  fhe  M^as  boylinge  y'  S'  Tho:  Smith  was  uppon  her  backe  in  the  kettle. 

And  whereas  it  is  afirmed  that  there  were  very  fewe  of  his  Ma"^'  fubiedls  left  in 
thofe  dayes  and  thofe  of  the  meaneft  ranke,  we  anfwere  y'  for  one  that  now  dyes,  there 
then  perifhed  fiuc,  many  bcinge  of  Auncyent  Howfes  and  borne  to  eftates  of  1000"  by 
the  yeere,  fome  more,  fome  lefs  who  likewife  perifhed  by  famine.  Thofe  who  furuived 
who  had  both  aduentured  thcire  eftates  and  prfonnes  were  conftraj'ned  to  ferue  the 
Colony  as  if  they  had  been  flaues,  7  or  8  yeeres  for  their  frcedomes,  who  underwent  as 
hard  and  feruile  labor  as  the  bafeft  fellow  that  was  brought  out  of  Newgate. 

And  for  dif couery  we  faye  that  none  was  dif couered  in  thofe  1 2  yeeres,  and  in  thefe 
4  or  5  laft  yeers  much  more  than  formerly. 

For  o'  howfes  and  churches  in  thofe  tymes  they  were  fo  meane  and  poore  by 
refon  of  thofe  calamities  that  they  could  not  ftand  aboue  one  or  two  yeeres,  the  people 
neuer  goinge  to  woorke  but  out  of  y'  bittemes  of  theire  fpirrits  threatning  execrable 
curfes  uppon  S' :  Thomas  Smith,  neither  could  a  bleffmge  from  god  be  hoped  for  in  thofe 
buildings  w"^*"  were  founded  uppon  y"^  bloud  of  foe  many  Chriftians. 

The  Townes  were  only  James  Cyttie,  Henryco,  Charles  hundred,  Weft  &  Sherley 

hundred. 


(22) 

hundred,  and  Kiccoughtan  all  w^""  in  thofe  tymes  were  ruined  alfoe,  unlefs  fome  lo  or  12 
howfes  in  y*  Corporatione  of  James  Cyttie  at  this  prefent  tyme  are  4  for  euer  one  that 
were  there,  and  forty  times  exceedinge  in  Goodneffe,  fortifications  there  were  none  at 
all  againft  y*  foraigne  enemy,  and  thofe  that  were  againft  the  domeftick  very  few  and 
contemptible.  Bridges  there  was  only  one  w"^""  alfo  decayde  in  that  tyme,  yf  through  the 
forfaid  calamities  many  had  not  perifhed  we  doubt  not  but  there  might  haue  been  many 
more  than  1000  people  in  the  lande  when  S^  Thomas  Smith  left  the  Gouerment. 

But  we  conceiue  y'  when  S'  George  Yardly  arriued  Gouno'  hee  found  not  aboue 
400,  moft  of  thofe  in  want  of  come,  nearly  deftitute  of  cattle,  fwyne,  poultrey  and 
other  neceffary  p''uifions  to  nourifh  them.  Minifters  to  inftrudl  the  people  there  were 
fome  whofe  fufficyencie  and  abilitie  we  will  not  tax,  yet  diuers  of  them  had  no  Orders. 
We  knowe  not  at  any  time  y'  we  exceeded  in  Armes,  Powder  &  munitions,  but  y' 
in  qualitie  almoft  altogether  ufeleffe.  We  acknowledg  in  thofe  times  there  was  a 
tryall  made  of  diuers  f taple  Comodities,  the  Colony  as  then  not :  hauinge  meanes  to 
p'ceed  therein,  we  hope  in  tyme  there  may  be  fome  better  p'greffions  be  made,  and 
had  it  not  beene  for  the  Maffacre  may  by  this  had  beene  brought  to  ^fedlione,  as 
for  boats  in  the  tyme  of  y'  Gouermt  there  was  only  one  left  y'  was  feruiceable  in 
the  Colonic,  for  -w"^  one  befides  4  or  5  Shipps  and  pynnaces,  there  are  now  not  fo 
fewe  as  40,  the  barques,  and  barges  y'  then  were  built  in  number  few,  fo  unwillinglie 
and  weakly  by  the  people  effedted,  y'  in  the  fame  time  they  alfo  fifhed  [perifhed]  we  neuer 
^ceaued  y'  the  natiues  of  the  Countrey  did  voluntarily  yeeld  themfelues  fubiedts 
to  our  gracyous  Souraigne,  nether  that  they  took  any  pride  in  that  title,  nor  p'uide  at 
any  tyme  any  contrybutione  of  come  for  fuftentation  of  y=  Colony,  no'  could  we  at  any 
tyme  keepe  them  in  fuch  good  ref pedl  of  correfpondency  as  we  became  mutually  helpful 
each  to  to  the  other  but  contrarily  w'  at  any  [time]  was  doune  p''ceeded  from  feare  and 
not  loue,  and  their  come  p'cured  by  trade  or  the  fworde. 

To  w'  growth  of  ^fedlione  the  Colony  hath  attayned  at  y^  end  of  thofe  22  [12] 
yeeres  wee  conceaue  may  eafily  be  iudged  by  w'  we  haue  formerly  faide.  And  rather 
to  be  reduced  to  liue  under  the  like  Goument  we  defire  his  Ma"^  y'  Commiffioners  may 
be  fent  ouer,  w""  authoritie  to  hange  us. 

Alderman  Johnfon,  one  of  y^  Authors  of  this  Declaratione  hath  reafone  to  corfiend 
him  to  whofe  oflEences  and  infamies  he  is  fo  infeparably  chained. 

By  y'  generall  reporte  of  y  Country  w'""  we  neuer  hard  contradidled,  we  afP.rme 
this  to  be  true  whereof  all  or  y*  moft  p'^te  were  eye  witneffes  or  refident  in  y  Country 
when  euery  p'^ticuler  within  written  were  eflfe(5led.

"Unmasking  of  Virginia."    Copied  from  Stith's  Hiftory  of  Virginia  (Williamfhurg,  1747),  pp.  307-312.] 

Moft  gracious  Sovereign, 

X  X  YHEREAS  a  Copy  of  an  Injormatiori,  prefented  to  Your  Majejty  by  Captain 

1/1/      Nathaniel  Butler,  entitled.  The  Unmasking  of  Virginia,  is  come  to  our  Hands: 

^   ^        and  whereas  the  fame  is  full  of  notorious  Slanders  and  Falfhoods,  proceeding 

from  the  Malice  of  his  corrupt  Heart,  and  abetted  by  private  Enmity  and  publick 

Divifion,  which  aim  at  the  Satisfadion  of  their  particular  Spleen,  altho'  it  be  to  the  Subver- 

fion  of  this  whole  Colony;  Wee,  the  Governor,  Council,  and  Colony  of  Virginia,  in  our 

General  Affembly,  out  of  Zeal  and  Refped  to  Your  Majefty  and  this  our  Country,  not  to 

fufer  Your  facred  Ears  to  be  prophaned  with  falfe  Suggeftions,  nor  Your  Royal  Thoughts 

to  be  diverted  from  fo  hopeful  a  Plantation,  which  may  add  in  time  a  principal  Flower  to 

Your  Diadem,  do,  in  all  Humblenefs,  fubmit  this  our  Anfwer  to  Your  Princely  Survey, 

annexed  to  the  fever al  Untruths  of  the  f aid  Informer. 

1.  I  found  the  Plantations  generally  feated,  &c. 

THE  Plantations,  for  the  moft  Part,  are  high  and  pleafantly  feated:  and  the  reft 
not  low,  nor  infefted  with  Marfhes,  which,  we  wifh,  were  more  frequent.  The  Creeks 
are  rather  ufeful,  than  noifome;  and  no  Bogs  have  been  feen  here  by  any,  that  have 
lived  twice  as  many  Years,  as  he  did  Weeks,  in  the  Country;  the  Places  which  he  fo 
mifcalls,  being  the  richeft  Parts  of  the  Earth,  if  we  had  a  fufficient  Force  to  clear  their 
Woods,  and  to  give  the  frefh  Springs,  which  run  through  them,  a  free  Paffage.  The 
Soil  is  generally  rich,  and  ref tores  our  Tnift  with  Abundance;  the  Air  is  fweet,  and  the 
Clime  healthful,  all  Circumftances  confidered,  to  Men  of  found  Bodies  and  good  Govern- 
ment. 

2.  I  found  the  Shores,  &c. 

In  this  he  traduceth  one  of  the  goodlieft  Rivers  in  the  habitable  World,  which  rims 
for  many  Miles  together  within  upright  Banks,  till  at  length,  enlarged  with  the  Receipt 
of  others,  it  beats  on  a  fandy  Shore,  and  imitates  the  Sea  in  Greatnefs  and  Majefty. 
It  is  approachable  on  both  Sides,  from  half  Flood  to  half  Ebb,  for  Boats  of  good  Burthen ; 
neither  is  there  any  River  in  the  World  of  this  Vaftnefs,  without  Cranes  or  Wharfs, 
more  commodious  for  landing.  And  it  is  equally  contrary  to  Truth,  that  by  wading 
we  get  violent  Surfeits  of  Cold,  which  never  leave  us,  till  we  are  brought  to  our  Graves, 

3.  THE  new  People,  fent  over,  arriving  for  the  moft  Part,  &c. 

We  affirm,  that  the  Winter  is  the  only  proper  time  for  the  Arrival  of  new  Comers; 
whereof  the  Governor  and  Council  have  often,  by  their  Letters,  informed  the  Company ; 
and  the  like  Advice  has  been  given  to  their  Correfpondents,  from  time  to  time,  by  pri- 
vate Planters,  for  their  Supply  of  Servants.  As  to  Hoiifes  of  Entertainment,  there  was 
a  general  Subfcription,  amounting  to  an  unexpedled  Sum,  and  Workmen  adtually 
employed,  to  build  a  fair  Inn  in  James  City,  and  every  principal  Plantation  had  refolved 
on  the  like,  for  the  Entertainment  of  their  new  Supplies;  when  it  pleafed  God,  to  punifh 
our  Crimes  by  the  bloody  Hands  of  the  Indians,  which  obliged  us  to  divert  that  Care 
to  the  Houfmg  ourfelves,  many  of  us  having  been  unfumifhed  by  that  Difafter.  But 
Buildings  of  late  have  every  where  encreafed  exceedingly;  neither  have  new  Comers 
any  Reafon  to  complain,  when  every  Man's  Houfe  is,  without  Recompence,  open  to  the 
Stranger,  even  to  the  difaccommodating  ourfelves.  So  that  we  may  with  Modefty 
boaft,  that  no  People  in  the  World  do  exercife  the  like  Hofpitality.  As  for  dying  under 
Hedges  (whereof  there  are  none  in  Virginia)  or  lying  unburied  in  the  Woods,  by  reafon 
of  this  Defedl,  it  is  utterly  falfe.  However,  if  fuch  things  fhould  fometimes  be  feen 
accidentally  here,  the  like  may,  and  often  doth  happen,  in  the  moft  fiovuifhing  Countries 
of  Europe. 

4.  THE  Colony  was,  this  Winter,  in  great  Diftrefs,  &c. 

THE  Colony,  that  Winter,  was  in  no  Diftrefs  of  Vidlual,  as  the  Accufer  well  knoweth. 
For  he  bought  Com  himfelf  for  eight  Shillings  a  Bufhel,  cheaper,  as  we  hear,  than  it  was 
then  fold  in  England.     It  is  true,  a  fucceeding  Scarcity  was  feared.     But  what  lefs  could 

be 


(24) 

be  expedled,  after  fuch  a  Maffacre;  when  near  half  the  Colony  were  driven  from  their 
Habitations  in  time  of  planting,  others  ftreightened  in  their  Ground  by  receiving  them, 
and  all  interrupted  in  their  Bufmefs  by  fupporting  a  fudden  War?  Englifh  Meal  fold, 
as  he  afiirmeth,  at  thirty  Shillings  the  Bufhel,  was  only  fold  for  ten  Pounds  of  Tobacco: 
for  which,  in  truck,  we  ordinarily  receive  under  twelve  Pence  a  Pound,  real  Value. 
And  it  is  not  to  be  fuppofed,  that  any  of  the  Great  fhould  affe(5l  Scarcity,  in  order  to 
enrich  themf elves  by  Trade.  For  Trade  hath  ever  been  free  for  us  all;  neither  have 
they,  who  have  brought  in  moft  Com,  fold  it  out  at  unconfcionable  Rates,  but  have 
often  freely  imparted  it  to  the  Neceffity  of  others,  without  any  other  Advantage  than 
Repayment.  We  agree  with  that  Prime-one,  who  wifhed,  that  Corn  might  never  be 
under  eight  Shillings  a  Bufhel;  meaning  in  Tobacco  at  three  Shillings  a  Pound.  For  fo 
there  would  be  fome  Proportion  between  the  Profit  of  making  the  one  and  the  other, 
and  Com  would  thereby  be  planted  in  greater  Abundance. 

5.  THEIR  Houfes  are  generally  the  worft,  &c. 

OUR  Houfes,  for  the  moft  Part,  are  rather  built  for  life  than  Ornament;  yet  not 
a  few  for  both,  and  fit  to  give  Entertainment  to  Men  of  good  Quality.  If  we  may  give 
Credit  to  thofe,  who  are  accounted  the  moft  faithful  Relaters  of  the  Weft-Indies,  many 
Cities  of  great  Rumour  there,  after  threefcore  Years  Progrefs,  are  not  to  be  compared 
in  their  Buildings  to  ours.  And  fo  far  are  they  from  the  meaneft  Cottages  in  England, 
that  many  Towns  there  have  hardly  one  Houfe  in  them,  which  exceedeth  ours  in  Con- 
veniency  or  Stru(5lure.  The  greateft  Difparagement,  that  fome  of  them  received, 
proceeded  from  his  Riots  and  lafcivious  Filthinefs  with  lewd  Women,  purchafed  with 
Rials  of  Eight  and  Wedges  of  Gold,  the  Spoils  of  the  dif treffed  Spaniards  in  Bermudas ; 
which,  as  we  are  informed  by  a  Gentleman  of  good  Credit,  who  cafually  furveyed  his 
Inventory,  did,  with  other  Treafure,  amount  to  divers  Thoufands.  As  for  the  Inter- 
pofition  of  Creeks,  which  Men  are  moft  defirous  to  feat  upon,  where  we  cannot  go  by 
Land,  we  have  Boats  and  Canoes,  for  our  fudden  Tranfport  on  any  Occafion. 

6.  I  found  not  the  leaft  Piece  of  Fortification,  (Sfc. 

WE  have,  as  yet,  no  Fortifications  againft  a  foreign  Enemy,  altho'  it  hath  been 
endeavoured  by  the  Company,  with  a  Succefs  unanfwerable  to  their  Care  and  Expence ; 
as  alfo  lately  by  ourf elves.  But  the  Work,  being  interrupted  by  the  Scarcity  of  laft 
Summer,  fhall  proceed  again,  God  willing,  with  all  convenient  Expedition;  and  almoft 
all  our  Houfes  are  fufficiently  fortified  againft  the  Indians,  with  ftrong  Palifadoes. 
His  Envy  would  not  let  him  number  truly  the  Ordinance  at  James  City;  four  Demi- 
Culverins  being  there  mounted,  and  all  ferviceable.  At  Flower-de-Hundred,  he  makes 
but  one  of  fix;  neither  was  he  ever  there,  but,  according  to  his  Cuftom,  reporteth  the 
unfeen  as  feen.  The  fame  Envy  would  not  let  him  fee  the  three  Pieces  at  Newport's- 
News,  and  thofe  two  at  Elifabeth-City.  Two  great  Pieces  there  are  at  Charles  Hundred, 
and  feven  at  Henrico.  Befides  which,  feveral  private  Planters  have  fince  fumifhed 
themfelves  with  Ordinance.  So  that  it  were  a  defperate  Enterprife,  and  unlikely  to  be 
attempted  by  a  Man  of  his  Spirit,  to  beat  down  our  Houfes  about  our  Ears,  with  a 
Bark  of  that  Burthen. 

7.  EXPECTING,  according  to  their  printed  Books,  &c. 

THE  time  that  this  Informer  came  over,  was  in  the  Winter,  after  the  Maffacre; 
when  thofe  Wounds  were  green,  and  the  Earth  deprived  of  her  Beauty.  His  Ears  were 
open  to  nothing  but  Detradtion,  and  he  only  enquired  after  the  Fa(5lious,  of  which 
there  were  none  among  us,  and  how  he  might  gather  Accufations  againft  thofe  in  the 
Government,  being,  as  it  fhould  feem,  fent  over  for  that  Purpofe.  Otherwife  he  could 
not  but  hear  of  our  Proclamations  for  the  Advancement  of  Staple  Commodities,  and  with 
what  Alacrity  and  Succefs  they  proceeded;  Vines  and  Mulberry  Trees  being  planted 
throughout  the  whole  Country,  the  Iron-Works  in  great  Forwardnefs  and  fhortly  to 
receive  Perfedtion,  and  the  Glafs- Works  laboured  after  with  all  poffible  Care,  till  the 
Slaughter  by  the  Indians,  and  the  fucceeding  Mortality,  gave  a  Ruin  to  fome,  and 
Interruption  to  all.    So  that  he  hath  nothing  but  our  Misfortunes  to  accufe  and  upbraid 

us 


(25) 

us  with;  which  have  obHged  us,  ftill  to  follow  that  contemptible  Weed,  as  well  to  fuftain 
the  War,  as  to  enable  us  again  to  eredl  thofe  Works.  As  for  deriding  the  Books,  that 
were  fent  over  by  the  Company,  it  was  done  by  himfelf,  and  no  other,  that  we  know  of. 

8.  I  found  the  ancient  Plantations  of  Henrico,  &c. 

STILL  he  abufeth  your  Majefty  with  thefe  Words,  /  found,  in  Places,  where  he 
never  was  by  fome  Score  of  Miles;  having  never  been  higher  up  the  River,  than  the 
Territories  of  James  City.  Henrico  was  quitted  in  Sir  Thomas  Smith's  Time,  only  the 
Church  and  one  Houfe  remaining.  Charles  City,  fo  much  fpoken  of,  never  had  but  fix 
Houfes.  The  Soil  of  both  is  barren,  w^orn  out,  and  not  fit  for  Culture.  The  Lofs  of  our 
Stocks  the  Informer  hath  lefs  Reafon  to  urge.  For  he  joined  with  the  Indians  in  killing 
our  Cattle,  and  carried  the  Beef  aboard  his  Ship;  which  would  have  coft  him  his  Life, 
if  he  had  had  his  Deferts. 

9.  WHEREAS  according  to  his  Majefty's  gracious,  &c. 

THE  Governor  and  Council,  whom  it  only  concerned,  replied  to  this;  that  they 
had  followed  the  Laws  and  Cuftoms  of  England  to  their  utmoft  Skill ;  neither  could  he, 
or  any  other,  produce  any  Particular,  wherein  they  had  failed.  As  to  their  Ignorance, 
they  held  him  to  be  no  competent  Judge  of  thofe,  who  fo  far  tranfcended  him  in  Point  of 
Learning  and  Ability.  For  he  had  never  been  bred  to  the  Law  (as  was  not  unknown  to 
fome  of  them)  nor  yet  in  any  other  of  the  liberal  Sciences.  But  his  principal  Spleen 
in  this  Article,  appeared  to  proceed  from  his  not  being  admitted  of  the  Council,  which 
they  could  by  no  means,  confiftently  with  their  Inftru<5lions,  do. 
10.  THERE  having  been,  as  it  is  thought,  ten  thoufand,  &c. 

HIS  Computation  of  ten  thoufand  Souls  falleth  fhort  of  four  thoufand;  and  thofe 
were,  in  great  part,  wafted  by  the  more  than  Egyptian  Slavery  and  Scythian  Cruelty.which 
was  exercifed  on  us,  your  poor  and  miferable  Subjedls,  by  Laws  written  in  Blood,  and 
executed  with  all  Sorts  of  Tyranny,  in  the  Time  of  Sir  Thomas  Smith's  Government; 
whereof  we  fend  your  Majefty  the  true  and  tragical  Relation,  from  which  it  will  plainly 
appear,  that  the  pretended  Confufions  and  private  Ends  will  ftrongly  refledl  upon  him 
and  his  Inftrudlors.  And  how  unfit  fuch  Men  are,  to  reftore  that  Plantation,  which 
fufifered  fo  much  under  their  Government,  we  humbly  refer  to  your  princely  Confider- 
ation;  invoking,  with  him,  that  divine  and  fupreme  Hand,  to  protedt  us  from  fuch 
Governors  and  their  Minifters,  who  have  poured  out  our  Blood  on  the  Earth  like  Water, 
and  have  fatted  themfelves  with  our  Famine.  And  we  befeech  your  Majefty,  to  fupport 
us  in  this  juft  and  gentle  Authority,  which  has  cherifhed  us  of  late  by  more  worthy 
Magiftrates;  and  We,  our  Wives,  and  poor  Children,  as  is  our  Duty,  fhall  ever  pray  to 
God,  to  give  you  in  this  World  all  Increafe  of  Happinefs,  and  to  crown  you  in  the  World 
to  come,  with  immortal  Glory.

A  Breife  Declaration  of  the  Plantation  of  Virginia  duringe  the  firft  Twelve  Yeares, 
when  Sir  Thomas  Smith  was  Governor  of  the  Companie,  &  downe  to  this  prefent 
tyme.    By  the  Ancient  Planters  nowe  remaining  alive  in  Virginia. 

WHEREAS  in  the  beginninge  of  Sir  Thomas  Smiths  twelve  yeares  government, 
it  was  publifhed  in  printe  throughout  the  Kingdome  of  Englande  that  a 
Plantation  fhould  be  fettled  in  Virginia  for  the  glorie  of  God  in  the  propo- 
gation  of  the  Gofpell  of  Chrift,  the  converfion  of  the  Savages,  to  the  honour 
of  his  Majefty,  by  the  enlargeinge  of  his  territories  and  future  enrichinge  of  his  kingdome, 
for  which  refpecfts  many  noble  &  well  minded  perfons  were  induced  to  adventure  great 
fums  of  money  to  the  advancement  of  foe  pious  &  noble  a  worke,  who  have  from  the 
very  firft  been  fruf trate  of  their  expeftation,  as  wee  conceive,  by  the  mifgovemment  of 
Sir  Thomas  Smith,  aiminge  at  nothinge  more  then  a  perticular  gaine,  to  be  raifed  out 
of  the  labours  of  fuch  as  both  voluntarilie  adventured  themfelves  and  were  otherwife  fent 
over  at  the  common  charge.  This  will  cleerely  appeare  in  the  examination  of  the  firft 
expedition  &  feverall  fupplies  in  the  tyme  of  his  government. 

The  firft  Plantation  in  Virginia  confifted  of  one  hundred  perfons,  fo  flenderly 
provided  for  that  before  thej'  had  remained  halfe  a  yeare  in  this  new  CoUony  they  fell 
into  extreame  want,  not  havinge  anything  left  to  fuftein  them  fave  a  little  ill  conditioned 
Barley,  which  ground  to  meal  &  pottage  made  thereof,  one  fmale  ladle  full  was  allowed 
each  perfon  for  a  meale,  without  bread  or  aught  elfe  whatfoever,  fo  that  had  not  God, 
by  his  great  providence,  moved  the  Indians,  then  our  utter  enemies,  to  bringe  us  reliefe, 
we  had  all  utterlie  by  famine  perifhed.  How  unable  fo  fmall  a  companye  of  people,  foe 
poorely  fent  over,  were  to  make  way  for  fuch  as  fhoulde  followe,  may  eafily  be  judged. 

The  firft  fupplie  beinge  two  fhippes,  the  John  &  Francis  &  Phenix,  with  one  hundred 
&  twenty  perfons,  worfe  every  way  provided  for  then  the  former,  arrived  heere  about 
eight  or  nine  months  after  &  found  the  Collony  confifting  of  no  more  then  forty  perfons 
(of  thofe)  tenn  only  able  men,  the  reft  at  point  of  death,  all  utterly  deftitute  of  howfes, 
not  one  as  yet  built,  fo  that  they  lodged  in  cabbins  &  holes  within  the  grounde;  viftualls 
they  had  none,  fave  fome  fmall  reliefe  from  the  Indians,  as  fome  yet  living  weare  feelinge 
witneffes,  neither  were  we  for  our  future  and  better  maintenance  permitted  to  manure 
or  till  any  grounde,  a  thing  in  a  new  Plantation  principally  to  be  regarded,  but  weare 
by  the  direction  of  Sir  Thomas  Smith,  and  his  officers  heere,  wholly  imployed  in  cuttinge 
downe  of  mafts,  cedar,  blacke  wallnutt,  clapboarde,  &c.,  and  in  digginge  gould  oare  (as 
fome  thought)  which  beinge  fent  for  England  proved  dirt.  Thefe  works  to  make  retome 
of  prefent  profifit  hindered  others  of  more  neceffary  confequence  of  Plantation. 

After  this  firft  fupplie  there  were  fome  few  poore  howfes  built,  &  entrance  made 
in  cleeringe  of  grounde  to  the  quantitye  of  foure  acres  for  the  whoU  Collony,  hunger  & 
ficknefs  not  permitting  any  great  matters  to  bee  donne  that  yeare. 

The  fecond  fupplie  was  a  fhip  the  Mary  Margett,  which  arrived  here  nine  months 
after,  about  the  time  of  Michaellmas,  in  her  fixty  perfons,  moft  gentlemen,  few  or  no 
tradefmen,  except  fome  Polandcrs  to  make  Pitch,  tarre,  potafhes,  &c.,  to  be  retomed 
for  prefent  gaine,  foe  meanly  likewife  were  thefe  fumiflied  forth  for  vicftualles,  that  in 
leffe  then  two  monthes  after  their  arrivall,  want  compelled  us  to  imploye  our  time  abroad 
n  trading  with  the  Indians  for  come ;  whereby  though  for  a  time  we  partly  relieved  our 
neceffities,  yet  in  Maye  followinge  we  weare  forced  (leavinge  a  fmall  guarde  of  gentlemen 
&  fome  others  about  the  prefident  at  James  Towne)  to  difperfe  the  whoU  Collony,  fome 
amongft  the  Salvadges  but  moft  to  the  Oyfter  Banks,  where  they  lived  uppon  oyfters 
for  the  fpace  of  nine  weekes,  with  the  allowance  only  of  a  pinte  of  Indian  come  to  each 
man  for  a  week,  &  that  allowance  of  corne  continued  to  them  but  two  weekes  of  the 
nine,  which  kinde  of  feeding  caufed  all  our  skinns  to  peele  off,  from  head  to  foote,  as  if 
we  had  beene  fiead-.    By  this  time  arrived  Captaine  Samnell  Argall  in  a  fmall  Barque, 

with 


'  An  obfolete  form  of  "flayed". 


(29) 

with  him  neither  fupplie  of  men  nor  vidlualls  from  the  Company ;  but  we  underftandinge 
that  he  had  fome  fmall  provifions  of  bread  and  wine,  more  then  would  ferve  his  owne 
companie,  required  him  and  the  mafter  of  the  Barque  to  remaine  afhoare  whilft  we  might 
bring  his  failes  afhoare  the  better  to  affure  us  of  his  fhip  &  fuch  provifions  as  could  be 
f pared,  whereunto  he  feemed  willingly  to  condefcend.  Thofe  provifions,  at  a  fmall 
allowance  of  Biskett,  cake,  and  a  fmall  meafure  of  wine  or  beere  to  each  perfon  for  a 
Daye  fome  what  relieved  us  for  the  fpace  of  a  month,  at  the  end  of  which  time  arrived 
the  thirde  fupplie,  called  Sir  Thomas  Gates,  his  fleet,  which  confifted  of  feaven  fhippes 
&  neere  five  hundred  perfons  with  whom  a  fmall  proportion  of  vi<5tuall,  for  fuch  a  number, 
was  landed;  howfes  few  or  none  to  entertain  them,  fo  that  being  quartered  in  the  open 
feilde  they  fell  uppon  that  fmall  quantitye  of  come,  not  beinge  above  feaven  acres, 
which  we  with  great  penury  &  fufferance  had  formerly  planted,  and  in  three  days,  at  the 
moft,  wholly  devoured  it. 

Thefe  numbers,  thus  meanly  provided,  not  being  able  to  fubfift  and  live  together 
weare  foone  after  devided  into  three  parties  and  difperfed  abroad  for  their  better  reliefe. 
The  firft  under  commande  of  Captaine  Francis  Weft  to  feat  at  the  head  of  the  River; 
a  fecond  under  commande  of  Captaine  John  Smith,  the  Prefident,  at  James  Towne,  & 
the  other,  with  Capt.  John  Martin,  in  the  River  at  Nanjamun,  which  divifions  gave 
occafions  to  the  Indiens  treacheroufly  to  cutt  off  divers  of  our  men  &  boates,  and  forced 
the  reft  at  the  end  of  fixe  weekes,  havinge  fpent  thofe  fmall  provifions  they  had  with 
them,  to  retire  to  James  Town  8c  that  in  the  depth  of  winter,  when  by  reafon  of  the  colde, 
it  was  not  poffible  for  us  to  endure  to  wade  in  the  water  (as  formerly)  to  gather  oyfters 
to  fatisfie  our  hungry  ftomacks,  but  conftrained  to  digge  in  the  grounde  for  unwhole- 
fome  rootes  whereof  we  were  not  able  to  get  fo  many  as  would  fuflfice  us,  in  refpedl  of 
the  froft  at  that  feafon  &  our  poverty  &  weaknefs,  fo  that  famine  compelled  us  wholly 
to  devoure  thofe  Hogges,  Dogges  &  horfes  that  weare  then  in  the  Collony,  together  with 
rates,  mice,  fnakes,  or  what  vermin  or  canyon  foever  we  could  light  on,  as  alfoe  Toad- 
ftooles,  Jewes  eares,  or  what  els  we  founde  growing  upon  the  grounde  that  would  fill 
either  mouth  or  belly;  and  weare  driven  through  unfufiferable  hunger  unnaturallie  to 
eat  thofe  thinges  which  nature  moft  abhorred,  the  flefh  and  excrements  of  man,  as  well 
of  our  owne  nation  as  of  an  Indian,  digged  by  fome  out  of  his  grave  after  he  had  laien 
buried  three  dales  &  wholly  devoured  him ;  others,  envyinge  the  better  ftate  of  bodie  of 
any  whom  hunger  had  not  yet  fo  much  wafted  as  there  owne,  lay  waight  and  threatened 
to  kill  and  eat  them;  one  amonge  the  reft  flue  his  wife  as  fhe  flept  in  his  bofome,  cutt 
her  in  peeces,  powdered  her  &  fedd  uppon  her  till  he  had  clean  devoured  all  partes  fave- 
inge  her  heade,  &  was  for  foe  barbaroufe  a  fadl  and  cruelty  juftly  executed.  Some 
adventuringe  to  feeke  releife  in  the  woods,  dyed  as  they  fought  it,  &  weare  eaten  by 
others  who  found  them  dead.  Many  putt  themf elves  into  the  Indians  handes,  though 
our  enemies,  and  were  by  them  flaine.  In  this  extremitye  of  famine  continued  the 
Collony  till  the  twenteth  of  Maye,  when  unexpedled,  yet  happely,  arrived  Sir  Thomas 
Gates  &  Sir  George  Somers  in  two  fmall  Barques  which  they  built  in  the  Sommer  Iflands 
after  the  wreake  of  the  Sea  adventure  wherin  they  fett  forth  from  Englande,  with  them 
one  hundred  perfons  barely  provided  of  vittel  for  themfelves.  They  founde  the  Collony 
confif tinge  then  of  but  fixty  perfons  moft  famifhed  and  at  point  of  death,  of  whom  many 
foone  after  died ;  the  lamentable  outcries  of  theirs  foe  moved  the  hartes  of  thofe  worthies, 
not  being  in  any  forte  able  long  to  releive  their  wantes  they  foone  refolved  to  imbarque 
themfelves  &  this  poore  remainder  of  the  Collonye,  in  thofe  two  pinnaces  &  two  other 
fmall  Barques  then  in  the  River,  to  fett  faile  for  Newfoundland  where  they  might  releive 
their  wants  &  procure  one  fafer  paffage  for  Englande.  Every  man,  glad  of  this  refolu- 
tion,  laboured  his  uttmoft  to  further  it,  fo  that  in  three  weekes  we  had  fitted  thofe 
barques  and  pinnaces  (the  beft  we  could)  &  quitted  James  Towne,  leaving  the  poore 
buildings  in  it  to  the  fpoile  of  the  Indians,  hopeinge  never  to  retome  to  re-poffefs  them. 
When  we  had  not  failed  downe  the  River  above  twelve  miles  but  we  efpied  a  boat  which 
afterwards  we  underftoode  came  from  the  right  Honourable  Lorde  La  Ware,  who  was 

then 


(30) 

then  arrived  at  Point  Comfort  with  three  good  fhipps,  wherin  he  brought  two  hundred 
and  fifty  perfons  with  fome  ftore  of  Provifions  for  them;  but  by  reafon  he  founde  the 
CoUony  in  fo  great  want  was  forced  to  put  both  his  owne  people  &  the  reft  of  the  CoUony 
to  a  very  meane  allowance,  which  was  feven  pounde  of  Englifh  meale  for  a  man  a  weeke, 
&  five  pounds  for  every  woman,  without  the  addition  of  any  viftuall  whatfoever,  except, 
in  the  ftead  of  meale,  we  took  valuablie  either  peafe  or  oatmeale.  Uppon  the  arrival  of 
that  boat.  Sir  Thomas  Gates  underftandinge  from  the  Lord  La  Ware,  that  his  Lordfhip 
was  arrived  with  commiffion  from  the  Company  to  be  Gov'  &  Capt.  Gen'  of  Virginia, 
&  had  brought  men  &  provifions  for  the  fubfif tinge  &  advancing  of  the  Plantation,  he  the 
very  next  daye,  to  the  great  griefe  of  all  his  Company  (only  except  Capt.  John  Martin), 
as  winde  and  weather  gave  leave,  retomed  his  whole  company  with  charge  to  take  pos- 
feffion  againe  of  thofe  poore  ruinated  habitations  at  James  Towne  which  he  had  formerly 
abandoned;  himfelffe  in  a  boate  proceeded  downeward  to  meete  his  Lordfhip  who, 
making  all  fpeede  up,  arrived  fhortly  after  at  James  Towne.  The  time  of  the  yeare 
being  then  moft  unfeafonable,  by  intemperate  heat,  at  the  end  of  June  his  people 
fuddenly  falling  generally  into  moft  peftilent  difeafes  of  Callentures  and  feavors,  not 
leffe  then  one  hundred  &  fifty  of  them  died  within  few  moneths  after,  &  that  chiefly 
for  want  of  meanes  to  comfort  them  in  their  weak  eftates.  The  refidue  alfoe  difabled 
by  reafon  of  ficknes  could  performe  nothing  that  yeare  to  the  advancement  of  the 
Collony,  yet  with  the  help  of  thofe  people  which  had  arrived  with  Sir  Thomas  Gates, 
together  with  fome  of  the  ancient  Planters,  who  by  ufe  weare  growen  praftique  in  a 
hard  way  of  livinge,  two  fmall  forts  weare  eredted  neare  the  rivers  mouth  at  Kicoughtun, 
encompaffed  with  fmall  younge  trees,  haveinge  for  houfmg  in  the  one,  two  formerlie 
built  by  the  Indians  &  covered  with  bark  by  them,  in  the  other  a  tent  with  fome  few 
thacht  cabbins  which  our  people  built  at  our  comming  thether.  We  founde  divers  other 
Indian  Howfes  built  by  the  natives  which  by  reafon  we  could  make  no  ufe  of  we  burnt, 
killinge  to  the  number  of  twelve  or  fourteene  Indians,  &  poffeffinge  fuch  come  as  we 
founde  growinge  of  their  plantinge.  We  remained  there  untill  harveft,  when  we  reaped 
(befides  what  we  fpent)  about  the  quantitie  of  one  hundred  and  fiftie  bufhells  of  come, 
which,  by  order  from  the  Lord  La  Ware,  was  tranfported  to  James  Towne. 

His  Lordfhip  intendinge  to  fend  up  certain  forces  to  march  towardes  the  mountaines 
for  the  difcoverie  of  gold  or  filver  mines  at  the  end  of  Odober,  fent  his  Patents  to  Captaine 
Yardley  and  Captaine  Holcroft,  commanders  of  thofe  two  forts  at  Kicoughtan,  wherin 
his  Lordfhip  gave  order  that  they  fhould  be  forthwith  abandoned  &  the  people  with  all 
fpeede  to  be  brought  to  James  Citie,  there  to  prepare  for  his  intended  march. 

At  that  time  there  arrived  a  fmall  fhip  call  the  dainiie,  with  twelve  men  &  one 
woman,  fome  little  provifion  of  vidtuall,  two  or  three  horfes  &  fome  other  flight  neces- 
faries  for  the  Collony.  Soon  after  we  fett  forward  for  our  intended  march,  havinge  for 
our  leaders  Captaine  Edwarde  Brewfter  &  Captaine  George  Yeardley,  being  in  number  one 
hundred  perfons,  fumifhed  with  all  fuch  neceffary  provifions,  as  the  Collony  at  that 
time  out  of  its  poverty  was  able  to  provide.  This  defigne  was  hindered  by  reafon  of  the 
unfortimate  loffe  of  all  our  chieffe  men  skillfull  in  findeinge  out  mines,  who  weare  treach- 
eroufly  flaine  by  the  Salvadges  (inviteinge  them  afhoare  to  eat  vidlualls  which  they 
wanted)  even  when  the  meate  was  in  theire  mouthes,  they  careinge  only  to  fill  their 
bellies,  forefaw  not  to  prevent  this  danger  which  befell  them. 

This  injury  we  revenged  for  the  prefent  (as  we  coulde)  by  killinge  fome  Indians 
and  burninge  many  houfes,  but  by  reafon  of  this  difafter  we  pi^ceeded  not  farther  on 
our  journey  then  the  head  of  the  River,  where  we  fpent  about  three  moneths  doinge 
little  but  induringe  much;  his  Lordfhip  was  there  in  perfon  for  the  moft  part  of  that 
time,  but  his  defeafe  of  body  groweinge  much  upon  him  he  refolved  to  retire  to  James 
Towne,  givinge  order  that  the  fort  which  we  had  built  there  fhoulde  bee  quitted  and  the 
troupe  drawn  downe,  which  accordingly  was  done.  His  Lordfhip  then  in  regarde  of 
his  ficknefs  was  advifed  to  putt  to  Sea  in  his  fhip,  the  Delaware,  to  feeke  remedie  in  fome 
other  parts  for  the  health  of  his  bodye.    At  his  going  he  left  Captaine  George  Percie 

Deputie 


(31) 

Deputie  Governor,  the  people  (remaining  under  his  command)  provided  for  three 
months  at  a  fhort  allowance  of  vidluals.  The  calamities  of  thefe  times  would  not  any 
way  permit  workes  of  great  importance  to  bee  performed,  fith  that  we  did  was  as  much 
as  we  coulde  doe  to  live  and  defende  our  f elves. 

The  Plantations  helde  at  his  Lordfhips  departure  were  only  James  Towne  and 
Pointe  Comforte,  where  a  fmall  Fort  fenced  with  Palifadoes,  in  it  one  flight  howfe,  a 
ftore  and  fome  few  thatcht  cabbins,  which  fhortly  after  by  cafualtie  was  burnt  with  fire; 
fome  few  great  ordinance  were  (lenderlye  mounted  at  James  Towne  and  Pointe  Comfort. 

A  fortnight  after  his  Lordfhips  departure  arrived  a  fmall  fhip  called  the  Hercules, 
with  fome  thirty  people  and  fome  provifions  for  them.  The  twelve  of  May  foUoweinge 
arrived  Sir  Thomas  Dale  with  three  fhips  and  three  hundred  perfons,  his  provifions  for 
them  of  fuch  qualitie  (for  the  moft  part)  as  hogges  refufed  to  eat,  fome  whereof  were 
fent  backe  to  England  to  teftifie  the  fame,  and  that  the  reft  was  not  better  was  juftified 
upon  oath  before  the  Hono*"''  the  Lorde  Cheife  Juftice  of  the  Common  Pleas,  at  Guilde 
hall  in  London,  by  Sir  Thos.  Gates  &  two  other  gentlemen. 

Sir  Thomas  Dale,  takinge  into  confideration  the  precedent  times  not  to  have  fuc- 
ceeded  accordinge  to  the  greedy  defire  of  Sir  Thomas  Smith,  prefently  imployed  the 
general  Colony  about  the  lading  of  thofe  three  fhips  with  fuch  freight  as  the  country 
then  yealded,  but  a  little  before  the  fhips  were  readie  to  depart,  Sir  Thomas  Gates 
arrived  with  three  fhips  and  three  carvills,  with  him  three  hundred  perfons  meanly 
provided  with  vid;ualls  for  fuch  a  number.  In  this  fleet,  to  our  remembrance  arrived 
fixtie  cowes  and  fome  fwine ;  it  was  his  care  to  dif patch  thofe  fhipps  and  carvills  fraighted 
(as  aforefaid)  to  the  negledl  of  workes  of  greater  importance.  Sir  Thomas  Dale  imediately 
uppon  his  arrival,  to  add  to  that  extremitye  of  miferye  under  which  the  Collonye  from 
her  infancie  groaned,  made  and  publifhed  moft  cruell  and  tiranous  lawes,  exceeding 
the  ftridleft  rules  of  marifhall  difcipline,  which  lawes  were  fent  over  by  Sir  Thomas  Dale 
to  Sir  Thomas  Smith  by  the  hande  of  M"'  William  Starchey,  then  Secretarie  to  the 
State,  and  were  retomed  in  print,  with  approbation,  for  our  future  government,  as  in 
divers  bookes  yet  extant  more  fully  appeareth. 

At  Michaellmas  then  next  following,  Sir  Thomas  Dale  removed  himfelf  with  three 
hundred  perfons  for  the  buildinge  of  Henrico  Towne,  where  being  landed  he  oppreffed 
his  whole  companye  with  fuch  extraordinarye  labors  by  daye  and  watchinge  by  night, 
as  maye  feeme  incredible  to  the  eares  of  any  who  had  not  the  experimental!  triall  thereof. 
Wante  of  houfes  at  firft  landinge  in  the  colde  of  winter,  and  pinchinge  hunger  continually 
bitinge,  made  thofe  impofed  labours  moft  infuflferable,  and  the  beft  fruits  and  effedls 
thereof  to  be  noe  better  then  the  flaughter  of  his  Majeftys  free  fubjecJts  by  ftarveinge, 
hangeinge,  bumeinge,  breakinge  upon  the  wheele  and  fhootinge  to  deathe,  fome  (more 
than  halfe  famifhed)  runninge  to  the  Indians  to  gett  reliefe  beinge  againe  retomed  were 
burnt  to  death.  Some  for  ftealinge  to  fatisfie  their  hunger  were  hanged,  and  one  chained 
to  a  tree  till  he  ftarved  to  death;  others  attemptinge  to  nm  awaye  in  a  barge  and  a 
fhallop  (all  the  Boates  that  were  then  in  the  Collonye)  and  therin  to  adventure  their 
lives  for  their  native  countrye,  beinge  difcovered  and  prevented,  were  fhott  to  death, 
hanged  and  broken  upon  the  wheele,  befides  continual!  whippings,  extraordinary  pvmifh- 
ments,  workinge  as  flaves  in  irons  for  terme  of  yeares  (and  that  for  petty  offences) 
weare  dayly  executed.  Many  famifhed  in  holes  and  other  poore  cabbins  in  the  grounde, 
not  refpe<5led  becaufe  ficknes  had  difabled  them  for  labour,  nor  was  their  fufficient  for 
them  that  were  more  able  to  worke,  our  beft  allowance  being  but  nine  ounces  of  corrupt 
and  putrified  meale  and  halfe  a  pinte  of  oatmeale  or  peafe  (of  like  ill  condition)  for 
each  perfon  a  daye.  Thofe  provifions  were  fent  over  by  one  Winne  a  Draper,  and 
Cajwell,  a  baker,  by  the  appointment  (as  we  conceave)  of  Sir  Thomas  Smith.  Under 
this  Tiranus  Government  the  CoUony  continued  in  extreame  flavery  and  miferye  for  the 
fpace  of  five  yeares,  in  which  time  many,  whofe  neceffities  enforced  the  breach  of  thofe 
lawes  by  the  ftridlnefs  and  feveritye  thereof,  fuffered  death  and  other  punifhments.

Divers  gentlemen  both  there  and  at  Henrico  towne,  and  throughout  the  wholl  Collonye 
(beinge  great  adventurers  and  no  frendes  or  alliance  to  Sir  Thomas  Smith)  weare  feeling 
members  of  thofe  generall  calamities,  as  far  forth  as  the  meaneft  fellow  fent  over. 

The  buildings  and  fortifications  of  that  Towne,  or  thereabouts,  were  noe  way 
extraordinary,  neither  could  want,  accompanied  with  bloode  and  crueltie,  effedl  better. 

Fortification  agairift  a  foreign  enemy  there  was  none,  only  two  or  three  peeces  of 
ordenance  mounted,  and  againft  a  domiftic  noe  other  but  a  pale  inclofmge  the  Towne 
to  the  quantitye  of  foure  acres,  within  which  thofe  buildings  that  weare  erecfted,  coulde 
not  in  any  mans  judgement,  neither  did  ftande  above  five  yeares  and  that  not  without 
continuall  reparations;  true  it  is  that  there  was  a  Bricke  Church  intended  to  be  built, 
but  not  foe  much  as  the  foundation  thereof  ever  finifhed,  but  we  contentinge  our  felves 
with  a  church  of  wood  anfwerable  to  thofe  houfes.  Many  other  workes  of  like  nature 
weare  by  him  donne  at  Henrico  and  the  precinfts  thereof,  but  fo  flightly  as  before  his 
departure  hence,  he  himfelf  faw  the  mine  and  defolation  of  moft  of  them. 

Sir  Thomas  Gates  likewife  in  his  time  eredled  fome  buildinges  in  and  about  James 
Towne,  which  by  continuall  coft  in  repaireinge  of  them  doe  yet  for  the  moft  part  in 
fome  fort  remaine. 

A  framed  Bridge  was  alfoe  then  erected,  which  utterly  decayed  before  the  end  of 
Sir  Thomas  Smiths  government,  that  being  the  only  bridge  (any  way  foe  to  be  called) 
that  was  ever  in  the  covmtry.  At  this  time  in  all  thefe  labours,  the  miferye  throughout 
the  wholl  Collony,  in  the  fcarcitye  of  foode  was  equall;  which  penurious  and  harde 
kinde  of  liveinge,  enforced  and  emboldened  fome  to  petition  to  Sir  Thomas  Gates  (then 
Governor)  to  grant  them  that  favor  that  they  might  employ  themf elves  in  hufbandry, 
that  therby  they  and  all  others  by  plantinge  of  come,  might  be  better  fed  then  thofe 
fupplies  of  vidlual  which  were  fent  from  Englande  woulde  afforde  to  doe,  which  requeft 
of  theirs  was  denied  unleffe  they  woulde  paye  the  yearlye  rent  of  three  barrels  of  come 
and  one  monthes  worke  to  the  Collonye,  although  many  of  them  had  been  imployed 
in  the  general  workes  and  fervices  of  the  Collony  from  the  beginninge  of  the  Plantation, 
which  harde  condition  of  Tenantfhip  was  then  accepted  rather  then  they  woulde  con- 
tinue in  thofe  general  fervices  and  employments  noe  waye  better  then  flavery.  Moft 
part  of  the  time  that  Sir  Thomas  Gates  and  Sir  Thos.  Dale  governed  we  were  at  warre 
with  the  natives,  fo  that  by  them  divers  times  were  many  of  our  people  flaine,  whofe 
blood  Sir  Thomas  Dale  negledled  not  to  revenge,  by  divers  and  fundry  executions,  in 
killinge  many,  cuttinge  downe  and  takinge  away  their  come,  burninge  their  houfes, 
fpoiling  their  weares,  &c. 

In  this  time  alfoe  the  two  fortes,  fort  Henry  and  fort  Charles,  at  Kicoughton,  were 
againe  eredled  with  fuch  buildings  as  were  formerly  expreffed,  not  fortified  at  all  againft 
a  forreine  enemye,  and  againft  the  Indian  that  common  order  of  a  pale  or  pallifadoe. 

The  fupplies  fent  out  of  Englande  while  Sir  Thos.  Gates  and  Sir  Thos.  Dale  governed 
were  thefe;  a  fmall  barque  called  the  John  and  Francis,  which  brought  few  men  and 
lefs  vidlual;  the  next  a  fmall  fhip  called  the  Sarah,  with  the  like  number  of  men  and 
vidluall;  the  next  fhip  called  the  Treforer,  wherin  came  Capt.  Samuell  Argoll,  bringinge 
with  him  to  the  number  of  fiftie  good  men,  which  fhip  and  men  were  wholly  imployed 
in  Trade  and  other  fervices  for  relevinge  of  the  Collonye;  the  next  fhip,  called  the  Eliza- 
beth, with  about  thirteene  perfons,  for  them  little  provifion ;  the  next  the  fame  Elizabeth 
came  againe,  with  fome  fmall  ftore  of  provifions  only;  in  her  Sir  Thos.  Gates  went  for 
Englande,  leavinge  the  government  with  Sir  Thomas  Dale. 

A  little  before  the  departure  of  Sir  Thomas  Gates  many  of  the  ancient  planters  (by 
the  inftigation  of  Sir  Thomas  Dale),  uppon  the  promife  of  an  abfolute  freedome  after 
three  yeares  more  to  be  expired  (havinge  moft  of  them  already  ferved  the  Collonye 
fix  or  feaven  yeares  in  that  general  llavery)  were  yet  contented  to  worke  in  the  buildinge 
of  Charles  Citty  and  Hundred,  with  very  little  allowance  of  clothinge  and  viAuall,  and 
that  only  for  the  firft  yeare,  being  promifed  one  moneth  in  the  yeare,  and  one  daye  in 
the  weeke  from  Maye  daye  till  harveft,  to  gett  our  maintenance  out  of  the  earth  without 

any 


(33) 

any  further  helpc;  which  promife  of  Sir  Thos.  Dale  was  not  performed,  for  out  of  that 
fmall  time  which  was  allowed  for  our  maintenance  we  were  abridged  of  nere  halfe,  foe 
that  out  of  our  daily  taskes  we  were  forced  to  redeeme  time  wherin  to  labour  for  our 
fuftenance,  thereby  miferably  to  ])urchafe  our  freedome.  Yet  fo  fell  it  out  that  our 
State  (by  Gods  mercy)  was  afterwardos  more  hap])ie  then  others  who  continued  longer 
in  the  aforementioned  flaverye ;  in  which  time  we  built  f uch  houf es  as  before  and  in  them 
lived  with  continual  repairs,  and  buildingc  new  where  the  old  failed,  untill  the  maffacre. 

For  matter  of  fortification  in  all  this  time,  were  only  foure  peeces  of  ordinance 
mounted  for  our  defence  againft  the  natives.  Soone  after  we  weare  feated  at  Charles 
Hundred,  Sir  Thomas  Dales  refolved  of  a  journey  to  Pamonkey  River,  there  to  make  with 
the  Salvadges  either  a  firme  league  of  friendfhip  or  a  prefent  warre;  they  percieving 
his  intent  inclined  rather  for  peace  (more  for  feare  then  love)  which  was  then  concluded 
betwixt  them.  That  donne  we  retomed  to  our  habitations  where  great  want  and 
fcarcitye,  oppreffed  us,  that  continuinge  and  increafmge,  (our  firft  harveft  not  yet 
being  ripe)  caufed  in  many  an  intended  mutinye,  which  beinge,  by  Gods  mercy,  dis- 
coverred,  the  prime  adlors  were  duly  examined  and  convicfted,  wherof  fixe  beinge  adjudged 
and  condemned  were  executed. 

After  this,  arrived  for  fupply  a  fmall  fhip  called  the  John  and  Francis,  with  about 
twenty  perfons  and  little  or  noe  provifions  for  them.  The  next  fhip,  called  the  Treforer, 
arived  heere  with  the  number  of  twenty  perfons  and  as  little  provifions  as  the  former, 
in  which  fhip  after  many  other  defigned  were  effedled  by  Sir  Thos.  Dale,  as  makinge 
fpoile  of  the  Kefchiacks  and  Warijcoyacks,  impaling  fome  necks  of  Lande,  for  defence 
againft  the  Salvadges,  and  in  fifhing  for  our  reliefe,  &c.,  he  departed  from  Virginia, 
and  left  the  Government  to  Captain  George  Yardley,  under  whom  the  Collony  lived 
in  peace  and  beft  plentye  that  ever  it  had  till  that  time,  yet  moft  part  of  the  people 
for  that  yeare  of  his  Government  continued  in  the  generall  fervices  followinge  their 
labors  as  Sir  Thos.  Dale  left  them  by  order. 

At  Michaelmas  followinge  arrived  a  fmall  fhip  called  the  Sufan,  her  lading  (beinge 
the  firft  Magazin)  confif tinge  of  fome  neceffarye  provifions  of  clothinge,  as  our  wants 
required,  which  goods  were  fould  by  Sir  Thos.  Smith's  fa(5lor,  as  we  fuppofe,  for  a  fufficient 
profifit,  exchanginge  with  us  their  commodities  for  our  Tobacco. 

At  Chriftmas  then  followinge,  juft  occafion  beinge  given  by  the  Indians  of  Chi- 
quohomini  in  many  and  feveral  kindes  of  abufes,  and  in  deridinge  of  our  demandes, 
wherunto  they  had  formerly  agreed  and  conditioned  with  Sir  Thomas  Dale  to  paj^e 
us  yearlye  tribute,  viz:  a  bufhell  of  come  for  every  Boweman,  for  which,  by  agreement, 
we  were  to  give  to  each  man  one  peece  of  copper  and  one  iron  tomahawke,  and  to  the 
eight  chief e  men  each  a  fuit  of  redd  cloth,  which  clothes  and  truckinge  ftuffe  we  ef teemed 
of  more  worth  then  their  come.  Thefe  and  the  like  groffe  abufes  moved  our  Governor, 
Captaine  George  Yeardley,  to  levye  a  company  of  men,  to  the  number  of  eighty-four, 
to  bee  revenged  uppon  thofe  contemptous  Indians,  which  he,  accordinge  to  his  defire, 
fully  executed,  and  returned  home  with  the  fpoile  of  them :  concludinge,  before  his  depar- 
ture from  them,  a  more  firme  league  in  appearance  than  formerly  was,  for  that  it  con- 
tinued unviolated  almoft  the  fpace  of  two  yeares;  our  people  freely  travelinge  from 
Town  to  Towne  (both  men,  women  and  children)  without  any  armes,  and  were  by  the 
Salvadges  lodged  in  their  houfes,  every  way  kindly  intreated  and  noe  way  molefted. 

In  March  followinge,  our  three  yeares  time  beinge  expired,  as  it  was  our  due,  we 
of  Charles  Hundred  demanded  our  long  defired  freedome  from  that  common  and  general 
fervitude;  unto  which  requeft  Captaine  George  Yeardley,  freely  and  willingly  affented, 
to  our  great  joy  and  comfort.  Yet  remained  the  moft  part  of  the  Collony  in  the  former 
fervitude;  part  of  whom  were  farmers,  the  reft  imployed  in  fuch  workes  as  Sir  Thomas 
Dale  gave  order  for  before  his  departure. 

We  that  were  freed,  with  our  humble  thankes  to  God,  fell  cheerfully  to  our  perticular 
labours,  wherby  to  our  great  comfort,  through  his  bleffinge,  we  reaped  a  plentiful! 
harveft. 

In 


(34) 

In  May  foUowinge  arived  Captain  Samuel  Argoll  with  commiffion  to  be  Governor. 
He  brought  with  him  to  the  number  of  a  hundred  perfons,  partly  at  the  charge  of  the 
Company  and  partly  at  the  charge  of  private  adventures;  with  them  was  brought  a 
very  little  provifion  for  that  nomber.  At  his  arrival  heere  he  founde  the  Collony  in 
all  parts  well  ftored  with  come,  and  at  Charles  Hundred  a  granery  well  fumifhed  by 
rentes  lately  raifed  and  received  from  the  farmers,  which  come  he  tooke  poffeffion  of, 
but  how  it  was  imployed  himfelfe  can  beft  give  an  account.  Whileft  he  governed,  the 
Collony  was  Henderly  provided  of  munition,  whereby  a  ftridt  proclamation  was  made 
for  ref traint  of  waf tinge  or  fhooting  away  of  powder,  under  paine  of  great  punifhment ; 
which  forbiddinge  to  fhoot  at  all  in  our  peeces  caufed  the  loffe  of  much  of  oure  come 
then  growinge  uppon  the  grounde;  the  Indians  perceivinge  our  forbearance  to  fhoote 
(as  formerly)  concluded  thereuppon  that  our  peeces  were,  as  they  faide,  ficke  and  not 
to  be  ufed;  uppon  this,  not  longe  after  they  were  boulde  to  prefume  to  affault  fome 
of  our  people,  whom  they  flew,  therin  breakinge  that  league,  which  before  was  fo  fairly 
kept. 

Duringe  his  time  of  Government  moft  of  the  people  of  the  Collony  remained  (as 
formerly)  in  the  common  fervice,  their  freedome  not  beinge  to  be  obtained  without 
extraordinary  payement. 

The  next  fhip  that  arrived  heere  was  the  George,  fett  forth,  as  we  fupofe,  at  the 
charge  of  private  adventurers,  but  came  foe  meanly  provided  with  vidluall,  that  had  not 
we,  the  old  Planters,  relieved  them  moft  of  them  had  been  ftarved.  The  next  fhips, 
called  the  Neptune  and  Treafurer,  arived  in  Auguft  followinge,  fet  out  at  the  charge 
of  the  Right  Hono''*'  the  Lord  Laware,  his  noble  affociates,  and  fome  other  private 
adventurers.  The  people  w^""  arived  were  foe  poorely  victualled  that  had  they  not  been 
diftributed  amongft  the  old  Planters  they  muft  for  want  have  perifhed;  with  them 
was  brought  a  moft  peftilent  difeafe  (called  the  Bloody  flux)  which  infe(Sted  all  moft 
all  the  whole  CoUonye.  That  difeafe,  notwithftanding  all  our  former  afiiidlions,  was 
never  knowne  before  amongft  us. 

The  next  fupply  weare  two  fhips  called  the  William  &  Thomas  and  the  Guift, 
which  arived  in  Januarie;  the  Guift  beinge  fett  forth  at  the  charge  of  the  Societie  of 
Martins  Hundred,  the  other  by  the  Magazin  and  fome  private  adventurers. 

The  next,  a  fmall  fhip  called  the  Elinor  (fett  forth  at  whofe  charge  we  know  not), 
arived  heere  in  Aprill  after,  and  in  her  Capt.  Samuell  argoll,  leaving  his  Government, 
fhipt  himfelfe  for  Englande.  Whatfoever  els  befell  in  the  time  of  his  Government  we 
omit  to  relate,  much  beinge,  uppon  our  oathes,  alreadie  fuflficiently  examined  and  our 
anfwers  fent  for  Englande. 

By  all  which  hath  heertofore  beene  faide  conceminge  this  Collony,  from  the  infancie 
thereof  and  untill  the  expiration  of  Sir  Thomas  Smiths  government,  may  eafily  be 
perceived  and  plainly  underftood  what  juft  caufe  he  or  any  els  have  to  boaft  of  the 
flourifhing  eftate  of  thofe  times,  wherin  fo  great  miferies  and  callamities  were  indured, 
and  foe  few  werkes  of  moment  or  importance  performed,  himfelfe  beinge  juftly  to  be 
charged  as  a  prime  author  thereof,  by  his  negled;  of  providinge  and  alloweinge  better 
meanes  to  proceede  in  fo  great  a  worke,  and  in  hindering  very  many  of  our  frendes  from 
fendinge  much  releife  and  meanes  who  beinge  eameftly  folicited  from  hence  by  our 
letters — wherin  we  lamentablie  complained  unto  them — have  often  befought  Sir  Thomas 
Smith  that  they  might  have  leave  to  fupplie  us  at  their  owne  charge  both  with  provifion 
of  vidtuall  and  all  other  neceffaries,  wherin  he  utterlie  denied  them  fo  to  doe,  proteftinge 
to  them  that  we  were  in  noe  want  at  all,  but  that  we  exceeded  in  abundance  and  plentie, 
of  all  things,  fo  that  therby  our  frendes  were  moved  both  to  defift  from  fendinge  and  to 
doubt  the  truth  of  our  letters,  moft  part  of  which  weare  by  him  ufually  intercepted  and 
kept  backe;  farther  giveinge  order  by  his  directions  to  the  Governor  heere,  that  all 
mens  letters  fhould  be  fearched  at  the  goinge  away  of  fhips,  and  if  in  anye  of  them  weare 
founde  that  the  true  eftate  of  the  Collony  was  declared,  they  were  prefented  to  the  Gov- 
ernor and  the  indighters  of  them  feverely  punifhed;  by  which  meanes  noe  man  durft 

make 


(35) 

make  any  true  relation  to  his  frendes  of  his  owne  or  the  Collonyes  true  eftate;  neither 
was  it  permitted  to  anye  to  have  paffe  to  goe  home,  but  by  force  were  kept  heere  and 
employed  as  we  have  faide  (fave  fome  few),  one  of  whom  receved  his  paffe  from  the 
Kinge,  and  that  clofely  made  up  in  a  garter,  leaft  it  fhould  have  been  feized  uppon 
and  he  kept  heere  notwithftandinge.  Thofe  whom  their  frendes  procured  their  paffe 
in  open  courte  from  the  Companye  were,  by  private  diredtion,  nevertheleffe  made 
ftaye  of,  others  procuringe  private  letters  having  been  lett  goe. 

We  muft  alfoe  noat  heere,  that  Sir  Thos.  Dale,  at  his  arivall  finding  himfelf  deluded 
by  the  aforefaid  proteftations,  pulled  Capt.  Newport  by  the  beard,  and  threat ninge 
to  hang  him,  for  that  he  affirmed  Sir  Thos.  Smiths  relation  to  be  true,  demandinge  of 
him  whether  it  weare  meant  that  the  people  heere  in  Virginia  fhoulde  feed  uppon  trees. 

Soe  may  we  heere  conclude,  as  fome  have  concluded  for  him,  to  what  great  growth 
of  perfedlion  (with  the  expence  of  that  feaventie  thoufand  poundes)  the  Plantation 
was  advanced  in  the  time  of  his  12  years  government,  but  whether,  as  it  is  faide,  he 
be  to  be  praifed  for  the  managaing  of  thefe  afTaires,  with  much  unanimity,  moderation, 
integritie  and  judgment,  we  leave  it  to  cenfure. 

At  the  end  of  this  twelve  yeares  arived  Sir  George  Yeardley  to  be  Gov"  and  founde 
the  Collony  in  this  eftate  and  thus  furnifhed,  vizt:  For  fortification  againft  a  forreign 
ennemie  there  was  none  at  all;  two  demy  culverin  only  were  mounted  uppon  rotten 
carriages  and  placed  within  James  Citty,  fitter  to  fhoot  downe  our  houfes  then  to  offend 
an  ennemie.  At  Charles  Hundred,  which  were  mounted  by  Sir  Thos.  Dale,  two  demy 
culverin  and  one  facre;  fortifications  againft  a  domeftique  enimie  very  mean.  For 
Forts,  Towns  and  Plantations  he  foimde  thefe:  James  Citty,  Henrico,  Charles  Citty  and 
Hundred,  Shirley  Hundred,  Arrahattock,  Martin  Brandon  and  Kicoughton,  all  W""  were 
but  poorely  houfed  and  as  ill  fortified;  for  in  James  Cittie  were  only  thofe  houfes  that 
Sir  Thom.  Gates  built  in  the  time  of  his  government,  with  one  wherin  the  Gov  allwayes 
dwelt,  an  addition  beinge  made  thereto  in  the  time  of  Captaine  Sam'  Argoll,  and  a 
church,  built,  wholly  at  the  charge  of  the  inhabitants  of  that  cittie,  of  Timber,  beinge 
fifty  foote  in  length  and  twenty  foot  in  breadth;  at  Pafpahayes  alfoe  weare  fome  few 
flight  houfes  built;  at  Henrico,  two  or  three  old  howfes,  a  poore  ruinated  church  with 
fome  few  poore  buildings  in  the  Ifland;  Coxen  Dale  and  the  Maine  and  att  Arrahatocke 
one  houfe,  at  Charles  Cittie  fixe  howfes  much  decayed,  and,  that  we  may  not  be  too 
tedious,  as  thefe  foe  were  the  reft  of  the  places  furnifht. 

For  people  then  alive  about  the  nomber  of  foure  hundred,  very  many  of  them  in 
want  of  come,  utterlie  deftitute  of  cattle,  fwine  Poultrie  and  other  Provifions  to  noiuifh 
them. 

For  Barques,  Pinnaces,  Shallops,  Barges  and  Boates  he  founde  only  one  olde 
Frigott,  which  belonged  to  the  Sommer  Iflandes,  one  olde  Shallopp  built  in  Sir  Thos. 
Dales  time,  one  boat  built  in  Sir  Saml  Argolls  time,  with  two  fmall  boates  belonginge  to 
private  men.  For  mimition  a  very  fmall  quantitye,  the  moft  part  thereof  beinge  veiV 
bad  and  of  little  ufe.  For  minif ters  to  inftrudl  the  people  he  founde  only  three  authorized, 
two  others  who  never  received  their  orders. 

For  ftaple  commodities  at  his  arrivall  he  founde  none  afoot  fave  only  Tobacco.  The 
natives  he  founde  uppon  doubtfuU  termes,  neither  did  we  ever  perceive  that  at  any 
time  they  voluntarilie  yealded  themf elves  fubjecfts  or  fervants  to  our  Gracious  Sover- 
aigne,  neither  that  ever  they  tooke  any  pride  in  that  title,  nor  paide  they  at  any  time 
any  yearly  contribution  of  come  for  the  fuftentation  of  the  Collony,  nor  could  we  at 
any  time  keepe  them  in  fuche  goode  refpeft  or  correfpondencie  that  they  and  we  did 
become  mutuallie  helpful  or  proffitable,  each  to  other,  but  to  the  contrary,  whatfoever 
at  any  time  was  done  uppon  them  proceeded  from  fear  without  love,  for  fuch  help  as  we 
have  had  from  them  have  been  procured  by  fworde  or  trade.  And  heere  can  we  noe 
way  approve  of  that  which  hath  lately  beene  faide  in  the  behalfe  of  Sir  Thos.  Smith,  by 
fome  of  his  new  frendes,  that  a  flourifhinge  plantation  in  Virginia,  eredled  in  the  time  of 
his  12  yeares  government,  hath  fince  been  diftroyed  through  the  ignorance  of  fuc- 

ceedinge 


(36) 

ceedinge  Governors  heere,  for  that  by  what  we  have  already  faide  all  the  worlde  may 
judge  in  what  a  flourifhinge  eftate  it  was,  and  to  what  growth  of  perfecftion  it  was  ad- 
vanced, at  the  arivall  of  Sir  Geo.  Yeardley  to  be  Gov"^  here,  it  beinge  then  in  our  judge- 
ments, that  were  members  of  the  colony,  in  a  poore  eftate. 

The  whole  12  yeares  expired. 

Aprill,  1619. — Arived  Sir  Geo.  Yeardeley,  bringing  certain  commiffions  and  in- 
ftru(5lions  from  the  Company  for  the  better  eftablifhinge  of  a  Commonwealth  heere, 
wherin  order  was  taken  for  the  removing  of  all  thofe  grievances  which  formerly  were 
fuffred  and  manifefted  the  fame  by  publifhinge  a  Proclamation  that  all  thofe  that 
were  refidend  heere  before  the  departure  of  Sir  Tho:i.  Dale  fhould  be  freed  and  acquitted 
from  fuch  publique  fervices  and  labours  which  formerly  they  fuffered,  and  that  thofe 
cruell  lawes  by  which  we  had  foe  longe  been  governed  were  now  abrogated,  and  we 
were  now  to  be  governed  by  thofe  free  lawes  which  his  Ma'^'  fubjedls  live  under  in 
Englande.  And  farther  that  free  libertie  was  given  to  all  men  to  make  choice  of  their 
dividents  of  lande  and,  as  their  abilities  and  meanes  w"*  permitt,  to  poffeffe  and  plant 
uppon  them.  And  that  they  might  have  a  hande  in  the  goveminge  of  themf elves,  it 
was  granted  that  a  general  affemblie  fhould  be  helde  yearly  once,  wherat  were  to  be 
prefent  the  Gov"^  and  Counfell  with  two  Burgeffes  from  each  Plantation  freely  to  be 
ele(5led  by  the  inhabitants  thereof;  this  affembly  to  have  power  to  make  and  ordaine 
whatfoever  lawes  and  orders  fhould  by  them  be  thought  good  and  proffittable  for  our 
fubfiftance.  The  eflfedl  of  which  proceedinge  gave  fuch  incouragement  to  every  perfon 
heere  that  all  of  them  followed  their  perticular  labours  with  fmgular  alacrity  and 
induftry,  foe  that,  through  the  bleffmge  of  God  uppon  our  willinge  labors,  within  the 
fpace  of  three  yeares,  our  countrye  flourifhed  with  many  new  erected  Plantations,  from 
the  head  of  the  River  to  Kicoughtan,  beautifull  and  pleafant  to  the  fpeftators,  comfort- 
able for  the  releife  and  f uccor  of  all  fuch  as  by  occafion  did  travaile  by  land  or  by  water ; 
every  man  giveinge  free  entertainment,  both  to  frendes  or  others.  The  plenty  of  thefe 
times  likewife  was  fuch  that  all  men  generally  were  fuflficiently  fumifhed  with  come, 
and  many  alfoe  had  plenty  of  cattle,  fwine,  poultry  and  other  good  provifions  to  nourifh 
them.  Monethly  courtes  were  held  in  every  precindt  to  doe  juftice  in  redreffinge  of  all 
fmall  and  petty  matters,  others  of  more  confequence  being  referred  to  the  Gov',  Coun- 
fell and  Generall  Affemblie.  Now  alfoe  were  begunne  and  fett  a  foote  the  ereAinge  of 
Iron  Workes,  plantinge  of  vines  and  mulberrie  trees  for  the  nourifhinge  of  filke  wormes ; 
a  trial  made  for  filke  graffe  tillage  for  Englijh  graine,  gardeninge,  and  the  like,  which 
gave  great  hopes  of  prefent  and  future  plenty  in  their  feverall  perticulars,  wherin  no 
doubt  but  much  more  had  been  effec5led  had  not  great  ficknefs  and  mortalitie  prevented. 

Thofe  years  fallinge  out  to  be  generally  contagious  through  this  contient,  the 
people  alfoe  fent  over  arrived  heere  at  the  moft  unfeafonable  time  of  the  yeare,  beinge 
at  the  heat  of  Sommer,  and  divers  of  the  fhips  brought  with  them  moft  peftilent  infections, 
wherof  many  of  their  people  had  died  at  Sea,  foe  that  thefe  times  alfoe  of  plenty  and 
libertie  were  mixed  with  the  calamities  of  ficknes  and  mortalitie. 

In  Odober,  1621,  Arived  Sir  Fras.  Wyatt,  Knight,  with  commiffion  to  be  Gov'  and 
Capt.  Gen'  of  Virginia.  He  ratified  and  confirmed  all  the  afore  mentioned  liberties, 
freedomes  and  priveledges,  to  our  great  happines  and  content ;  the  country  alfoe  flour- 
ifhed and  increafed  in  her  former  proceedinges,  as  iron  workes,  plantinge  of  vines  and 
mulberrie  for  filke,  &c.  A  fhip  alfoe  was  fent  to  the  Summer  Iflandes  for  fuch  commodi- 
ties as  that  place  afforded,  as  Potatoes,  Fig  Trees,  Orange  and  Lemon  Trees,  and  fuch 
like,  many  of  which  profper  and  growe  very  likely  to  increafe.  But  amidft  this  happines 
was  the  Hande  of  God  fett  againft  us,  in  great  part,  no  doubt,  for  the  punifhment  of 
our  ingratitude  in  not  being  thankefull  but  forgettfuU  that  by  his  mercye  we  were 
delivered  from  fuch  bondage  and  calamitie  as  before  time  we  had  fuffered.  Juftly 
likewife  were  we  punifhed  for  our  greedy  defires  of  prefent  gaine  and  profit,  wherin 
many  fhowed  themfelves  infatiable  and  covetous;  we  beinge  too  fecure  in  truftinge  of 
a  treacherous  enimie,  the  Salvadges,  they,  whileft  we  entertained  them  frendly  in  our 
houfes,  tooke  their  opportunities  and  fuddenly  fell  upon  us,  killing  and  murdering 

very 


(37) 

very  many  of  our  people,  burninge  and  devaftinge  their  houfes  and  plantations,  this 
happeninge  uppon  the  two  and  twenteth  of  March  followinge  (1622),  ftroocke  fo  at  the 
life  of  our  wellfare  by  blood  and  fpoile,  that  it  almoft  generally  defaced  the  beautie  of 
the  wholl  Collonye,  puttinge  us  out  of  the  way  of  bringinge  to  jjerfecftion  thofe  excel- 
lent workes  wherin  we  had  made  foe  faire  a  beginninge. 

This  deadly  ftroake  being  given  to  the  great  amazement  and  ruine  of  our  State, 
caufed  our  Governor  and  Counfell,  withall  fpeede,  for  the  fafetie  of  the  reft  (left  the 
Indians  fhoulde  take  courage  to  purfue  what  they  had  begunne),  to  re-colle(5l  the  ftrag- 
linge  and  woefuU  Inhabitants,  foe  difmembered,  into  ftronger  bodies  and  more  fecure 
places.  This  enforced  reducement  of  the  Collony  into  fewer  bodies,  together  with  the 
troble  of  warre  then  in  hande,  caufed  the  year  following  a  flender  harveft  to  be  reaped, 
whereby  we  weare  conftrained  to  relye  upon  hopes  for  our  reliefe  by  fhippinge  out  of 
Englande,  and  by  trading  with  the  more  remote  Salvadges,  moft  part  of  which  fupplies 
hom  Englandc  unfortunately  mifcarried  by  the  waye,  the  Salvadges,  likewife,  from  whome 
we  hoped  to  have  helpes  by  trade,  proved  our  moft  treacherous  ennemies,  cunninglye 
circumventinge  and  cruellie  murderinge  fuch  as  were  employed  abroade  to  gett  reliefe 
from  them,  by  all  which  mifaccidents  we  fell  that  yeare  into  great  want  and  fcarcitye; 
which  fince,  by  the  bleffmge  of  God,  through  our  fupplies  we  have  had  from  the  Company, 
together  with  a  plentifull  harveft,  hath  bene  abundantly  reftored.  Our  Gov',  Counfell 
and  others  have  ufed  their  uttermof t  and  Chriftian  endeavours  in  profequtinge  revenge 
againft  the  bloody  Salvadges,  and  have  endeavoured  to  reftore  the  Collonye  to  her 
former  profperitye,  wherin  they  have  ufed  great  diligence  and  induftrye,  imployinge 
many  forces  abroade  for  the  rootinge  them  out  of  feverall  places  that  therby  we  may 
come  to  live  in  better  fecuritie,  doubtinge  not  but  in  time  we  fhall  clean  drive  them 
from  thefe  partes,  and  therby  have  the  free  libertie  and  range  for  our  cattle,  the  increafe 
of  whom  may  bringe  us  to  plentie,  and  maye  alfoe  more  freely  goe  on  againe  with  fetting 
up  thofe  ftaple  commodities  which  we  hoped  by  this  time  to  have  brought  to  good 
perfedlion. 

For  the  fupplies  fhippinge,  men,  cattle  and  provilions  that  have  arived  heere  fmce 
Sir  Thomas  Smith  left  his  government  we  can  not  nowe  well  reckon  up,  they  beinge 
manj'e,  but  muf t  referre  you  to  the  printed  bookes  and  to  the  Lifts  and  Invoices  retomed 
by  Sir  Geo.  Yeardley. 

For  the  State  of  the  Collony  at  this  prefent  we  leave  to  the  report  of  fuch  com-

March  2,  1623. 
The  Generall  Affemblies  Replie  to  thofe  foure  propofitions  made  unto  them  by  the 
Comiffion"  to  bee  prefented  to  the  Lordes  of  his  Ma""  moft  hono''''  Privie  Counfell. 

I.  "^  "^  y  HAT  places  in  the  Country  are  beft  or  moft  proper  to  bee  fortefied  or  main- 
teyned,  againft  Indians  or  other  enimies  that  may  come  by  fea. 

Pointe  Comfort  is  of  moft  life  but  of  great  charge  and  difiicultie. 
Warifcoyake  where  the  fortification  was  intended  more  efTedluall  to  fecure 
the  places  above  y'  from  Wyanoake  marifh  upwardes  there  are  divers  places  w^""  may 
peremptorily  comande  Shippinge  or  Boates :  the  beft  againft  the  Indians  and  moft  of  ufe 
for  the  future  increafe  of  plentie,  is  the  wininge  of  the  forreft  by  runinge  of  a  pale  from 
Martins  hundred  to  Chiskiacke  W^*"  is  not  above  fixe  miles :  and  plantinge  uppon  both 
rivers,  the  river  of  Pamunkey  beinge  alfoe  more  defenfible  againft  a  forrein  enymie. 

2.  Howe  the  Collony  nowe  ftandes  in  refpedl  of  the  Salvages.  The  termes  betwixt 
us  and  them  are  irreconciliable,  the  charge  of  driveinge  them  awaye,  vf^  woulde  reduce 
us  to  a  better  eftate  then  wee  weare  in  before  the  maffacre,  foe  great  as  yt  is  to  wayghtie 
for  us  to  fupport  though  hitherto  we  have  doune  whatfoever  yt  was  poffible  for  our 
meanes  and  numbers  to  effedl,  an  enimye  from  whom  there  is  noe  fpoile  to  bee  ekpedled, 
the  advantage  of  the  woodes  and  the  nymblenes  of  their  heeles  preventes  execution; 
the  harmes  that  they  doe  us  is  by  ambufhes  and  fuddein  incuriions  where  they  fee  their 
advantages,  we  never  fince  the  maffacre  haveinge  loft  one  man  in  any  expedition  againft 
them,  the  inconveniencyes  that  wee  receive  from  them  are  of  farre  more  confequence; 
we  have  not  the  fafe  range  of  the  Country  for  increafe  of  Cattle,  Swyne  &c  nor  the 
game  and  foule  w'^''  the  Country  aflfordes  in  great  plentye;  befides  our  duties  to  watch 
and  warde  to  fecure  our  felves  and  lab""  are  as  harde  and  chargeable,  as  if  the  enymie 
weare  at  all  tymes  prefent. 

J.  What  hopes  may  truly  and  really  bee  conceived  of  this  Plantation: 
We  houlde  yt  to  be  one  of  the  goodlyeft  partes  of  the  earth  aboundinge  w""  navigable 
Rivers  full  of  variety  of  fifh  and  foule,  faUinge  from  high  and  fteepe  mountaines,  w"^"" 
by  the  generall  Relation  of  the  Indians  are  rich  w""  mines,  Golde,  Silver  and  Copper, 
an  other  Sea  lyeinge  w"'in  fixe  dayes  jomey  beyonde  them  into  w"^*"  other  Rivers  defcende. 
The  foyle  fruitfuU  and  apt  to  produce  the  beft  fortes  of  Comodities,  replenifhed  w"" 
many  trees  for  feverall  ufes,  gumes,  dyes,  earths  and  fimples  of  admirable  vertue,  vines 
and  mulburitrees  groweinge  wilde  in  great  quantities  the  woods  fixll  of  deare,  Turkies 
and  other  beaf ts  and  birdes :  for  more  perticuler  relation  we  referr  you  to  the  reportes  of 
S'  Thomas  Gates  and  S'  Thomas  Dale  made  unto  the  Company  concerneinge  thofe 
praifes  noe  way  hiperbolicall,  nor  any  country  more  worthie  of  a  Princes  care  and 
fupportance. 

4.  Which  bee  the  dire(5left  meanes  to  attaine  to  thefe  hopes. 
The  way  to  attaine  to  thefe  hopes  is  to  have  a  runninge  armye  continually  a  foote  to 
keepe  the  Indians  from  fettlinge  on  any  place  that  is  neere  us,  to  fend  over  numbers  of 
people  to  arrive  heere  about  the  prime  of  Winter,  w""  provifions  of  Cattle  and  w"" 
full  provifions  for  themf elves  at  leaf t  for  a  yeare :  in  the  meane  tyme  to  fall  only  uppon 
the  plantinge  of  Vines  and  Mulbury  trees  and  to  fende  men  over  that  are  expert  in  thofe 
faculties,  to  plant  gardens  and  orchardes,  and  fuch  thinges  as  are  ufefull  for  the  fufte- 
nance  of  mans  life,  to  rayfe  the  price  of  tobacco  by  the  fole  importation,  and  reduceinge 
the  Cuf tomes  to  the  rate  of  the  letters  Pattents,  and  when  the  Country  fhalbe  bleffed 
w""  plenty  of  fuch  provifions  and  multitudes  of  people,  to  proceede  in  the  difcovery  of 
the  wealth  of  the  mountaines  and  Comodities  of  the  Seas,  that  are  credibly  reported 
to  lye  beyonde  them  A  care  muft  be  had  that  fhips  come  not  over  peftered,  and  that 
they  may  be  well  ufed  at  Sea  w""  that  plenty  and  goodnes  of  dyett  as  is  promifed  in 
Englande,  but  feldome  performed,  that  when  they  come  they  firft  fall  to  buildinge  of 
good  and  convenient  howfes,  and  bringe  men  over  for  that  purpofe:  that  for  the  firft 
yeare  they  only  endeavo'  themfelves  to  the  plantingeof  Come,  to  the  makeinge  of  gardens, 

to 


(39) 


to  the  choofeinge  &  inclofeinge  of  fitt  places  for  their  Cattle  and  to  the  plantinge  only  of 
fo  much  tobacco  as  may  ferve  to  fuftaine  them  in  neceffary  clothinge  for  the  fucceeding 
yeare,  a  proportion  of  mault  they  fhould  alfoe  bringe  over  to  make  themfelves  beare, 
that  the  fuddein  drinkinge  of  water  caufe  not  to  great  an  alteration  in  their  bodyes: 
that  they  fhoulde  employe  themfelves  to  the  plantinge  of  Englijh  graine,  that  therby 
wee  may  have  the  hopes  of  two  harvefts :  And  that  fuch  numbers  may  be  feated  togeather 
as  may  be  able  to  fecure  themfelves,  and  to  make  good  fuch  a  part  of  the  country  as 
they  may  have  free  and  fecure  range  for  the  fuftenance  and  increafe  of  their  Cattle. 
Thefe  doune  we  doubt  not  but  in  convenient  tyme  to  purchafe  to  his  Ma"'  a  riche  and

motion  therein  enclofed.  What  wee  propounded  was  out  of  o'  difcretion,  by  way  of  Coun- 
fell  for  the  good  of  this  Plantation,  not  precipitate  nor  fudden,  proper  to  the  time, 
occacon  and  Company,  and  the  marke  aimed  att  was  no  leffe  then  his  Ma""  favo' 
uppon  o'  perfons  and  comon  caufe  to  be  obteyned  by  obedience  and  thankfuUnes. 
Now  as  there  needed  neither  Comiffion  nor  inftruccons  for  us  to  propound  the  praftice 
of  fo  eminent  a  duty,  fo  it  is  lawfuU  and  free  for  us,  beinge  free  men  and  Planters  to 
offer  to  the  generall  Affemblie  any  reafonable  motion  though  of  farr  leffe  confequente. 
And  therefore  had  youe  not  beene  content  to  have  given  us  an  anfwere,  youe  might  have 
feemed  to  us  dif-content,  or  att  leaft  difcurteous.  Neither  uppon  this  occacon  have 
youe  reafon  to  ferch  into  the  depth  of  our  authority  (feeing  o'  yefterdayes  Motion 
dependeth  not  nor  needs  to  depend  uppon  o"  perticuler  Comiffion)  much  leffe  to  urge 
us  to  fett  downe  any  thinge  und'  o'  hands.  Nor  can  wee  profeffe  that  wee  have  no 
further  Comiffion  w^*"  may  concern  youe,  then  that  wee  have  already  putt  in  execution. 
For  o"^  Comiffion  yett  unperformed  concemeth  youe  in  yo'  perfons,  fervants,  come, 
cattle,  armes,  houfes  &*'.  Nor  need  youe  fufpedl  that  wee  will  attempt  any  thinge,  to 
the  wrong  of  any  man,  or  w''  wee  cannot  very  well  anfwer.     So  we  reft  the  fame  y'

[Petition  from  the  Convention  of  1625.] 

To  the  Kings  moft  excellent  Ma''' 

THE  humble  petition  of  the  Govern'  Counfell  and  Collony  of  Virginia  affembled 
together. 
HumbHe  fheweinge, 

That  wheras  in  the  former  yeare,  we  diredled  a  peticion  to  yo'  Ma"* 
humblie  defireinge  therin,  that  yo'highnes  woulde  not  give  creditt  to  the  late  declara- 
tions prefented  to  yo'  Ma"'  concerninge  the  happie,  but  indeed  miferable  eftate  of  the 
Collony,  duringe  the  firft  twelve  yeares  government,  neither  to  the  malitious  imputations 
w'*'  have  been  layde  on  the  latter,  but  to  be  pleafed  to  beholde  in  little,  the  true  eftate 
of  both,  by  our  relations,  w*"  we  then  fent  unto  yo'highnes,  by  the  handes  of  M'  John 
Puntis,  contayninge  nothinge  but  the  truth  w"'out  difaffeftion  or  partiallitye,  wherby  we 
doubted  not  but  yo'  Ma"*  would  underftande  the  condition  of  both  tymes,  and  farther  be- 
fought  yo'  Ma"*  that  you  would  not  fuffer  yo'  poore  fubjedls  to  fall  againe  into  the  handes 
of  S'  Thomas  Smyth  and  h^s  Confidents,  but  that  yo"  woulde  gratioufly  protedt  us, 
from  thofe  groweinge  ftormes  ingendred  by  fadlion  w""  prefaged  the  ruyn  of  fome, 
whofe  indeavo"  have  deferved  a  better  rewarde,  and  in  generall  of  the  whole  plantation. 
Soe  y'  is  that  we  are  driven  to  mifdoubt,  by  reafon  of  the  death  of  M"^  John  Puntis, 
and  that  many  thinges  have  fallen  out,  contrary  to  our  humble  defires,  that  the  afore- 
fayde  petition  and  relations  were  never  prefented  to  yo'  Royall  handes,  the  rather 
becaufe  the  fame  perfonnes  fo  juftly  complained  of,  are  joyned  in  yo'  Ma"*'  Comiffion 
for  goveminge  of  the  affaires  of  Virginia,  wherew'*"  beinge  armed,  we  feare  they  intend 
to  exercife  the  fame  Tiranny  uppon  our  perfons,  w**"  already  by  the  pemitious  Con- 
tract, they  execute  uppon  our  fortunes;  and  haveinge  juft  caufe  to  feare,  that  uppon  the 
eftablifhinge  of  a  Prefident  &  Councell  in  Englande,  for  the  government  of  Virginia, 
if  thofe  perfons  fhalbe  chofen  of  that  number,  the  fame  power  and  meanes  to  execute 
their  vindicative  mallice,  may  be  more  fully  and  abfolutely  fetled  and  confirmed  uppon 
them,  and  the  eftate  of  the  Collony  much  more  defperate,  the  effedts  wherof  allready 
beguin  to  appeare  not  only  in  the  skant  fupplie  of  neceffaries  this  yeare  not  fuflficient 
to  cover  our  nakednes,  and  the  rates  of  thofe  threefold  more  exceffive  then  formerly: 
But  alfoe  in  the  extreame  difcouragement  of  the  adventurer  and  planter,  infomuch 
that  great  number  of  the  planters  had  refolved  to  have  goune  for  Englande  in  thefe 
fhips  exprefly  to  have  petitioned  yo'  Ma"*  for  redreffe  and  protedlion:  But  leaft  the 
Clamo"  of  foe  many  fhould  be  troblefome  and  difpleafmge  to  yo'  Ma"*  We,  urged  by 
o'  duties  to  yo'  Ma"*,  our  zeale  to  the  Collony  and  the  difcharge  of  our  owne  confciences, 
have  w""  an  unanimous  content,  made  choyce  of  S'  George  Yeardley  Knight  (the  im- 
portance of  the  caufe  requireinge  no  leffe  then  one,  whoe  haveinge  formerly  comanded

We  humblie  therefore  befeech  yo'  Ma"*  to  affoarde  a  gratious  hearinge  to  the

[Papers  of  the  Affembly  of  1627/28.I 

The  humble  Anfwer  of  the  Governo'  &  Counfell  together  w">  the  Burgeffes  of  the  feverall 
Plantations  affembled  in  Virginia  unto  his  Ma"  Letter  concerning  our  Tobaccoe 
and  other  Comodities 

March  26,  1628. 

WHEREAS  the  making  of  any  Contradte  uppon  our  Tobaccoe  hath  bin  hitherto 
a  thing  foe  much  feared,  and  the  very  name  of  it  rather  a  terror  and  dis- 
couragm'  to  the  whole  Colony,  then  any  way  by  us  wifhed  or  affented  unto, 
the  bare  rumo'  whereof  hath  wrought  foe  evill  an  effecle  as  generally  to 
difharten  all  men,  foe  that  therby  the  Marchant  hath  bene  doubtfuU  of  adventuring 
hither,  and  much  enhaunfed  the  price  of  his  Comodities,  and  the  Planters  fearefull  to 
fettle  their  aboade  hefere  or  raife  any  workes  of  better  confequence  or  future  profitt,  as 
deeming  it  a  place  wherein  there  would  bee  noe  certainty  or  ftability  of  their  affaires 
but  continually  fubjedle  to  ruine  and  alteracon  if  the  finifter  informacons  of  pryvate  men 
in  England,  and  their  projedls  there  tending  folely  to  their  owne  pryvate  Corhoditie 
and  gaine  may  receave  allowance  and  approbacon,  Efpecially  feeing  all  Contra<5ts  here- 
tofore propounded  have  beene  made  w"'out  our  Confents,  and  uppon  fuch  unreafonable 
termes  &  condicons  as  have  dire(5lly  tended  to  the  imediate  diftrudtion  and  mifery  of 
the  fame,  and  this  hath  bin  fufficiently  fhewed  in  our  demonftracons  and  declaracons 
made  againft  thofe  Contracts  in  our  former  generall  Affemblies,  But  notw^'ftanding  wee 
have  continually  beene  infnared  in  thefe  toyles,  and  for  thefe  fix  yeares  have  perpet- 
ually laboured  in  the  confufed  pathes  of  thofe  labyrinthes,  being  rather  framed  and 
built  in  the  very  imaginacon  of  unconfcionable  and  unjuft  men,  then  uppon  good  and 
found  reafon  or  w""  any  refpefte  to  the  benefitt  and  advancem'  of  the  Colony :  Wherefore 
wee  retome  our  humbleft  thankes  unto  his  moft  excellent  Ma''"'  for  that  it  hath  pleafed 
him  to  diffolve  thofe  Contracts  formerly  fett  on  foote,  and  to  have  foe  gratioufly  in- 
clyned  in  his  Princely  favo'  towards  us  as  to  graunt  thofe  thinges  w"^**  have  bin  for  our 
eftablifhm'  and  fupportacon,  And  in  particuler  the  prohibition  of  all  Spanifhe  Tobacco, 
that  thereby  wee  might  have  a  certaine  and  fure  dependance  w"'  the  Kingdome  of 
England  w"^  is  foe  firme  a  foundation  for  the  perpetuall  fubfiftance  of  this  Colony  as 
otherwife  would  require  a  greate  expence  of  mony  And  this  cheifely  hath  bin  a  meanes 
to  uphold  the  fame  in  fuch  meafure  that  it  hath  nowe  noe  leffe  fiourifhed  fince  the  altera- 
con and  revoking  of  the  Patent,  then  when  our  affaires  were  managed  by  thofe  in  Eng- 
land w^  to  the  eye  of  the  world  appeared  to  bee  the  maine  fupporters  and  pillers  thereof, 
Nevertheleffe  fince  his  Ma""  hath  now  bin  pleafed  to  take  the  Comodity  of  tobacco 
for  his  owne  imediate  ufe,  and  as  his  owne  Marchandize,  and  to  that  ende  hath  diredted 
his  letter,  unto  the  Governo"  and  Councell,  requiring  that  on  his  behalf e  they  fhould 
bargaine  for  the  fame,  w'*"  the  Burgeffes  of  all  the  feverall  Plantacons,  And  further 
whereas  the  rayfing  of  other  ftaple  Comodities,  menconed  in  his  highnes  Letter  is  to 
greate  a  worke  for  our  poore  abilities  to  undertake  and  bring  to  perfedlion,  hee  hath 
therefore  required  us  that  wee  fhould  take  efpeciall  care  concerning  the  fame.  And 
according  to  the  Inftrudlions  fent  unto  us  to  certifie  of  the  probability  and  certainty 
thereof,  and  to  fend  home  fuch  enfamples  as  are  defired  whereby  wee  are  given  to  hope 
that  thofe  meanes  will  by  his  Royall  hand  bee  fupplyed  unto  us,  that  having  beene 
alwaies  hitherto  wanting  or  but  flenderly  furnifhed  it  hath  bin  impoffible  that  thofe 
thinges  fhould  have  effe(5lually  bin  accomplifhed.  And  wee  on  our  parts  fhall  give  good 
teftimony  of  our  willingnes  and  forwardnes  therein,  being  perfwaded  that  nothing  can 
bee  more  happly  for  the  Colony  or  to  bee  defired  of  us,  then  that  thofe  Comodities  fhould 
receave  their  full  perfeccon  that  wee  might  have  fome  other  matter  of  fubfiftance  then 

Tobacco, 


(46) 

Tobacco,  w"^""  yet  wee  cannot  wholy  abandon,  but  make  it  as  a  ftepp  to  attaine  thofe 
things  and  in  the  interim,  a  meanes  to  fufteyne  us,  Wee  have  therefore  in  all  humblenes 
of  duety,  after  full  debate  and  confideracon  of  the  premifes  fett  downe  our  opinions 
concerning  the  fame  defiring  that  our  relations  may  bee  rather  credited  then  theirs  w'^'' 
neyther  informed  by  experience  uppon  the  place  (the  moft  infallible  guide)  nor  led  by 
good  judgm'  at  foe  greate  a  diftance  doe  intend  their  private  endes  more  then  the  hono' 
and  profitt  of  the  King  or  the  welfare  of  this  Colony. 

Firft  for  tobacco  wee  confent  and  agree  that  his  Ma"'  fhall  have  all  our  Tobacco 
at  the  rate  of  three  fhillings  fix  pence  the  pound  cleere  the  Tobacco  to  bee  delyvered  here 
unto  his  Ma"  FaAo"  good  and  marchantable,  and  to  bee  approved  foe  to  bee,  by  fwome 
men  appoynted  to  that  purpofe,  And  for  the  paym'  thereof  wee  defire  that  the  Fadlors 
w^*"  fhall  receave  the  fame,  may  bring  letters  of  Creditt  from  men  of  unqueftionable 
fufiiciency  to  give  bills  of  exchange  uppon  thofe  men  to  make  paym'  of  them,  the  one 
halfe  after  tenn  daies  fight,  and  the  other  moytie  at  three  monethes  And  thofe  termes 
wee  doe  all  in  generall  cheifely  defire,  becaufe  our  refiding  is  here,  and  it  will  bee  much 
damaige  unto  us  to  goe  home  to  delyver  our  goods.  But  if  his  Ma"'  will  have  our 
Tobacco  delyvered  at  the  Port  of  London  and  wee  to  beare  the  adventure  of  the  Sea 
and  pay  the  fraight,  then  wee  will  bee  contented  to  delyver  it  all  there  at  fower  fhillinges 
the  pound  and  wee  to  bee  cleere  of  all  Cuf tomes,  and  the  paym'  to  bee  made  as  aforefaid 
But  if  his  Ma"'  fhall  refufe  to  take  all  the  Tobacco  that  fhall  bee  made  in  this  Colony 
good  and  marchantable,  then  wee  htmibly  defire  that  his  highnes  would  bee  pleafed  in 
certaintie  to  take  of  yearely  five  hundred  thoufand  weight  at  the  aforefaid  prices  and 
Condicons,  if  there  fhall  bee  foe  much  made  in  the  Country,  And  for  the  reft  if  there 
fhould  bee  any  overplus  wee  are  alfoe  content  to  deliver  the  fame  if  his  Ma"«  pleafe,  if 
not  wee  defire  to  export  it  againe  out  of  the  Kingdome  of  England,  cuftome  being  paid, 
and  to  vent  it  eyther  in  the  Low  Countries,  Ireland,  Turkey  or  elfewhere. 

And  wee  are  content  to  contradte  w"'  his  Ma"'  for  the  aforefaid  rates  and  uppon  the 
aforefaid  Conditions  for  and  during  the  tyme  and  terme  of  feven  yeares,  But  if  here- 
after it  fhall  appeare  that  the  Kingdome  of  England  fhall  bee  able  to  vent  more  tobacco 
then  the  quantities  now  to  bee  taken  from  this  Plantation  and  the  Somer  Iflands,  other 
places  fay  ling  and  the  reft  being  fuppreffed  &  banifhed,  our  defire  is  that  then  wee  may 
bee  fuflfered  to  import  the  fame,  and  our  proporcon  augmented. 

And  wee  doe  moft  humbly  defire  his  Ma' ''  that  if  hee  will  bee  pleafed  the  aforefaid 
condicons  may  bee  accepted;  that  all  Spanifhe  tobacco  bee  utterly  prohibited,  becaufe 
wee  have  juft  caufe  to  feare,  that  under  Colo'  of  any  Spanifh  Tobacco  licenfed  to  bee 
brought  in,  greater  quantities  will  bee  imported,  and  the  markett  glutted,  to  our  damage 
and  hinderance.  And  for  the  affurance  of  making  our  Tobacco  Marchantable,  that  it 
may  bee  fatisfaccon  given  therein,  wee  have  taken  fuch  eflfecftuall  courfes  in  every  refpedle, 
that  wee  dare  ingage  ourfelves  that  our  tobacco  fhall  bee  very  good  and  marchantable 
much  exceeding  the  tobacco  w'""  hath  formerly  gon  from  hence.  And  wee  have  alfoe  or- 
dered that  there  fhall  bee  fwome  men  appoynted  to  bee  Tryors  to  that  purpofe,  after  the 
curing  of  the  fame  and  before  it  bee  laden  aboord  the  Shipps,  w^*"  orders  heretofore  wee 
have  not  taken,  becaufe  wee  could  not  compell  the  planter  to  paie  the  Marchant  prin- 
cipal! Tobacco  when  as  often  tymes  the  Corhodities  hee  receaved  were  rotten  and  unufe- 
full,  and  allwaies  fould  at  moft  exceffive  rates,  w'*"  wee  could  not  moderate:  And  there- 
fore concerning  the  Tobacco  this  yeare  gon  home  wee  are  not  ignorant,  how  that  much 
of  it  is  of  noe  good  condition,  of  W"  as  wee  defire  to  bee  excufed,  foe  wee  hope  there 
fhall  bee  noe  fuch  occafion  hereafter  to  complaine  Wee  have  alfoe  ordered  that  a  Pro- 
clamacon  bee  made  through  the  Colony,  that  all  plants  fhall  bee  fett  fower  foote  and 
a  halfe  afunder  at  lejfft,  and  that  there  fhould  bee  gathered  but  twelve  leaves  of  from 
a  plant.  Whereas  it  hath  beene  the  Cuftome  heretofore,  from  that  fort  of  long  tobacco 
now  in  ufe  to  gather  five  and  twenty  or  thirty  leaves  and  wee  are  of  opinion  that  if  wee 
fhould  fuffer  but  fix  leaves  to  growe  uppon  a  plant,  that  the  nature  of  tobacco  will  not 
beare  it,  and  it  would  bee  nevertheles  very  dangerous  to  prime  away  the  leaves  foe  high 
in  reguard  that  then  it  is  fubjedle  to  bee  fpoyled  and  tome  w""  gufts  and  ftormes,  at 

that 


(47) 

that  tyme  ufually  happening,  and  the  ftalke  to  bee  parched  and  withered  by  the  heate 
of  the  funn,  And  wee  certainely  Knowe  that  although  wee  doe  tend  twelve  leaves  on 
every  plant  as  aforefaid  yett  by  reafon  of  dyvers  cafualties  as  the  wormes,  the  extra- 
ordinary raynes  w""  drowne  many  plants  wee  fhall  not  gather  above  eight  or  tenn 
generally  and  wee  wonder  why  any  fuch  thing  fhould  bee  injoyned  unto  us. 

Concerning  the  ftripping  out  the  ftalke  wee  doe  thinke  it  will  bee  much  hurt  unto 
it,  and  the  handling  in  that  Kind  will  deface  and  fpoyle  it,  at  that  feafon  of  the  yeare, 
the  windes  being  exceeding  peirceing  and  drying.  And  for  that  whilft  the  ftalke  is  in  it, 
it  is  a  good  prefervative  to  the  fame,  Whereas  it  is  certaine  that  if  wee  fhould  bee  tyed 
to  ftripp  out  the  ftalke  the  Planters  would  thereuppon  take  advantage  and  ftripp  it 
before  it  bee  fully  cured,  and  being  fomewhat  moyft  it  will  bee  fubjedte  to  rott  and 
mould:  And  further  it  would  bee  a  greate  hinderance  imto  our  other  workes  of  con- 
fequence  and  profitt  for  the  good  and  advancem'  of  the  Plantacon,  as  cleering  of  new 
grounds,  planting  of  gardens  and  orchards,  the  eredling  of  Comodious  buildinges,  the 
extirpacon  of  the  Indians  and  the  rayfing  of  all  ftaple  Comodities  &'^ 

Touching  the  moderating  of  the  quantity,  wee  defire  that  it  may  bee  confidered 
that  this  Comodity  of  tobacco  is  the  only  meanes  for  our  prefent  fupportacon  and 
fubfiftance  to  the  w^  nevertheles  wee  are  not  foe  much  wedded  and  adi(5led  as  wholly 
to  negledte  all  other  courfes  that  fhall  bee  thought  conducing  to  the  rayfmg  of  ftaple 
Comodities  as  aforefaid,  and  the  planting  of  greate  ftore  of  come,  the  breeding  and 
encreafmg  of  Cattell  &''  And  in  this  poynt  wee  have  this  yeare  leffened  and  ftinted  our 
ufuall  proporcon  in  gathering  but  halfe  foe  many  leaves  as  heretofore  was  ordinary 
And  wee  being  now  in  greate  fomes  indebted  to  the  Marchant  it  cannott  bee  admitted 
foe  ftridlly,  for  that  our  bargaines  &  Contracts  for  the  fucceeding  Cropp  are  already 
paffed  and  concluded  on  betwixt  us,  and  wee  muft  eyther  fhutt  upp  our  Courtes  and 
deny  Juftice  to  thofe  that  fhall  require  it  or  elfe  permitt  thofe  that  are  engaged  in  that 
Kinde  to  imploy  themfelves  and  fervants  for  the  performance  of  their  condicons.  Not 
w'Ktanding  for  the  fucceeding  yeares,  notice  beeing  given  aforehand,  the  nomber  of 
people  in  this  Colony  encreafed  and  the  Markett  of  Tobacco  gluttes,  wee  fhall  bee 
willing  to  condifcend  thereunto,  and  concerning  the  quantity  of  two  hundred  pound 
for  a  Mafter  of  a  family  and  one  hundred  and  a  quarter  for  every  fervant.  The  Colony 
now  confifting  of  neere  three  thoufand  perfons  or  fhortly  being  likely  to  attaine  to  that 
nomber,  every  weake  Judgment  w"^*"  hath  beene  converfant  w""  us,  or  hath  feene  the 
Accounts  of  our  affaires,  can  judge  that  quantity  not  to  bee  fixfficient  for  our  maintey- 
nance.  And  the  laft  yeare  wee  Knowe  there  was  more  fent  hence,  yett  that  proporcon, 
allowing  that  there  are  five  hundred  freemen  and  Mafters  of  families  will  amount  unto 
4i2,soo£ 

Laftly  to  demonftrate  that  the  Condicons  for  the  paym'  of  our  mony  halfe  in  hand 
and  the  reft  at  three  monethes  are  of  foe  abfolute  neceffity  unto  all  the  Planters,  wee 
faid  that  to  accept  of  one  third  in  hand  and  the  reft  at  five  and  five  monethes,  the  firft 
paym'  will  little  more  then  defray  the  freight  and  other  chardges,  and  the  expedlacon 
of  the  reft  will  not  only  put  them  to  many  ftreights  for  prefent  mainteynance,  but 
detaine  them  in  England  foe  longe  untill  their  meanes  wafting  w""  their  tymes,  they  bee 
utterly  difabled  to  tranfport  themfelves,  much  leffe  fervants  or  comodities  for  the 
augmentation  &  relief e  of  the  Colony  and  loofe  one  whole  yeares  tyme. 

For  Pitch  and  Tarr  wee  are  of  opinion,  that  his  Ma"'  may  bee  affured  that  there 
are  materialls  here  plentifully  for  the  making  thereof,  and  wee  have  by  thefe  fhipps  fent 
home  enfamples  of  the  ordinary  Pine  Trees  growing  in  this  Country,  that  there  may  bee 
noe  doubte  made  in  that  poynt,  but  wee  find  that  our  weake  abilities  will  not  enable 
us  to  bee  at  foe  greate  charges  as  will  neceffarily  bee  required  before  hand  to  the  full 
accomplifhm'  of  that  worke,  efpecially  it  being  a  Comodity  of  foe  fmall  a  value  and  the 
want  of  meanes  to  carry  the  wood  to  the  kilnes  where  it  is  burned,  there  being  neyther 
horfes  nor  Afinicoes  proper  for  that  purpofe  and  the  danger  that  the  workmen  bee  in 
uppon  all  incurfions  of  our  Enemies  the  Indians,  will  make  it  not  bee  w'^out  fome 
difficulty  and  muft  neceffarily  bee  provided  for,  if  that  bufines  bee  profequted. 

For 


(48) 

For.  Potafhes  wee  knowe  that  in  former  tymes  there  have  beene  fome  made  heere 
and  fent  into  Engkind  for  a  tryall,  but  the  worth  thereof  wee  doe  not  Knowe,  and  have 
noe  man  in  the  Country  that  Knoweth  how  to  make  them. 

For  pipeftaves,  barrell  boords  and  Clapboords  there  hath  formerly  beene  fent  home 
of  all  fortes  and  wee  have  now  both  fent  heme  enfamples  thereof  and  in  thefe  Shipps 
there  are  many  hundred  Caske  gon  into  England  from  all  partes  of  the  Country  made  of 
our  Tymber  heere,  whereby  thofe  of  experience  may  bee  able  to  judge  thereof,  this 
requireth  greate  labour,  and  the  freight  of  foe  meane  a  Comoditie  will  bee  too  deare  to 
incourage  any  man  to  goe  in  hand  w"'  it. 

Concerning  Iron  wee  have  fent  you  home  fome  of  the  Myne  of  W*"  by  their  report 
that  were  imployed  therein  there  is  plenty  and  the  tryalls  that  have  been  heere  made 
have  caufed  a  good  reputacon  of  the  Iron  that  hath  been  fent  into  England,  but  this 
worke  efpecially  requireth  an  exceffive  charge  and  expence  of  mony  to  bring  it  to 
perfeccon  w"^""  wee  cannott  difburfe  in  expedlacon  of  the  profitt  thereof  w""  will  not  bee 
foe  foudaine  as  our  neceffities  doe  require  and  wee  thinke  that  it  muft  neceffarily  bee 
provided  that  the  men  labouring  about  it  bee  fumifhed  continewally  w""  plenty  of 
cloathing  good  vicftualls  and  drinke,  the  w'^''  in  this  Country  are  not  fufiiciently  to  bee 
had:  The  Materialls  formerly  fent  over,  are  almoft  totally  wafted  and  confumed  and 
at  the  Maffacre  throwen  into  the  River  by  the  Indians,  and  little  to  bee  found  that  is 
ferviceable,  foe  that  in  that  cafe  there  will  neede  a  fupply  of  all  thinges  both  of  workemen 
and  other  neceffaries,  It  is  certaine  that  the  place  chofen  for  the  fame  at  the  falling 
Creeke  was  very  Comodious  and  advantagious  &  the  furnace  in  fome  good  forwardnes 
at  the  Maffacre. 

For  Mynes  of  Gould,  Silver,  Copper  &*=.  wee  conceive  that  there  is  greate  hope  of 
the  ritchnes  of  the  Mountaines,  and  there  was  a  difcovery  made  formerly  nynteene  yeares 
fmce  in  the  W^*"  fome  of  us  were,  and  about  fower  dales  Journey  above  the  falls  of  this 
Ryver  as  wee  are  informed  certaine  affurance  of  a  filver  Myne,  but  wee  fhall  hereafter 
uppon  all  occafions  fend  home  fuch  famples  as  wee  fhall  meete  w**"  any  where  yet  wanting 
the  meanes  of  beafts  of  Carriage  for  the  tranfport  of  Vidlualls  and  Munition,  it  will  bee 
allmoft  impoffible. 

For  the  planting  of  Vines  wee  conceave  greate  hopes  that  it  will  prove  a  Cothoditie 
both  beneficial!  and  profitable,  but  wee  are  none  of  us  skillfull  therein,  The  Vignerons 
that  have  beene  fent  over  have  fpent  their  tyme  heere  to  fmall  purpofe,  and  eyther 
purpofely  negledled  it  or  concealed  from  us  the  skill  w*^""  hath  generally  difhartened  all 
men  from  undertaking  it,  but  wee  have  this  yeare  planted  many  and  pruned  others  and 
by  further  experience  thereof  wee  fhould  thinke  ourfelves  happy  to  bring  this  Comodity 
to  perfeccon  and  would  bee  glad  to  defray  the  charges  of  skillfull  men  to  bee  fent  over 
for  that  purpofe. 

For  Bay  falte  wee  conceive  greate  likelines  of  the  certainty  of  that  Corhodity  and 
fuerly  the  benefitt  that  will  accrew  to  the  Colony  of  the  fame  will  bee  of  greate  confe- 
quence  and  wee  fhall  bee  willing  to  affift  M"^  Capps  to  make  the  experiment  thereof  W^ 
being  brought  to  perfeccon  will  drawe  a  certaine  trade  unto  us,  And  wee  hope  that  the 
fifhing  uppon  our  Coafts  will  bee  very  neere  as  good  as  that  of  Canada  whereof  fome 
tryall  hath  beene  already  made.

wee  are  alfoe  contented  to  deliver  the  fame,  but  if  that  fhalbe  to  much  for  the  Kingdome

Holden  the  i6th  day  of  October,  1629. 


THE  oathes  of  fupremacy  and  alleidgeance  were  adminiftered  to  the  governor 
and  councell  and  afterwards  to  all  the  burgeffes. 
After  debate  of  many  matters,  it  was  thought  a  bufmefs  of  great  benefitt 
and  good   confequence   to   fend  and  maintaine  a  company  of  men  to  plant 
come  at  Kiskyacke,  the  charges  of  building  to  be  borne  equally  by  all  that  fhould  bee 
the  adventurers,  and  to  bee  there  feated  by  the  15th  of  November  next.    Whereuppon 
voluntarily  the  Governor  offered  to  find  3  men.

It  was  ordered  they  fhould  have  fhares  of  land  to  them  and  their  heirs. 

It  is  ordered  that  every  commander  of  the  feverall  plantations  appointed  by  com- 
miffion  from  the  governor  fhall  have  power  and  authoritie  to  levy  a  partie  of  men  out  of 
the  inhabitants  of  that  place  foe  many  as  may  well  be  fpared  without  too  much  weak- 
ening of  the  plantations  and  to  imploy  thofe  men  againft  the  Indians,  when  they  fhall 
affault  us  neere  unto  our  habitations,  or  when  they  in  their  difcretion  fhall  deeme  it 
convenient  to  cleare  the  woods  and  the  parts  neere  adioyning  when  the  Indians  fhall 
bee  a  hunting  or  when  they  have  any  certaine  knowledge  of  the  Indian's  aboad  in  thofe 
places.  And  if  there  fhall  be  caufe  that  the  commander  in  perfon  can  not  attend  thefe 
fervices,  then  in  fuch  cafes,  and  in  his  abfence  hee  is  to  appoint  his  deputie. 

It  was  the  opinion  of  the  whole  bodie  of  the  affembly  that  we  fhould  go  three  feverall 
marches  upon  the  Indians,  at  three  feverall  times  of  the  yeare,  viz.  firft  in  November, 
fecondly  in  March,  thirdly  in  July.  To  effedl  this  the  coUony  and  inhabitants  are  to  bee 
divided  into  fower  divifions.  The  plantations  of  the  upper  parts  as  farr  downewards 
as  Weanoacke  Marfh,  and  fflowerdieu  hundred  creek  on  both  fides  the  river  to  cleare 
thofe  parts  and  territoryes,  and  to  doe  all  manner  of  fpoile  and  offence  to  the  Indians 
that  may  poffibly  bee  effedled.  The  fecond  divifion  to  extend  from  fflowerdieu  hundred 
creeke  and  Weanoacke  Marfh,  as  farr  downewards  as  the  creeke  belowe  Hogg  Ifland, 
and  to  include  the  whole  corporation  of  James  Cittie  and  Martin's  Hundred,  and  the 
plantations  of  Mulbury  Ifland  under  the  command  of  capt.  Smyth.  The  third  divifion 
to  be  the  plantation  of  Warofquoyacke,  and  thofe  inhabitants  to  cleare  the  grounds  and 
lands  betweene  Hogg  Ifland  creeke  and  Nanfamunge  river. 

There  remaine  for  a  fourth  divifion  Elizabeth  Cittie,  Warwicke  River,  Nuttmegg 
Quarter,  Accaumiacke,  the  plantation  at  Kiskyacke  and  the  places  adioyning;  to  goe 

twife 


(53) 

twife  uppon  the  Indians  in  Pamimky  river,  viz.  once  before  the  froft  of  Chriftmas,  &  the 
other  in  June,  July  or  Augujt,  as  alfoe  uppon  thofe  lands,  between  Nanjamunge  river 
and  the  river  of  Chefepeyacke.  And  it  is  concluded  that  the  plantations  of  Accawmacke 
fhall  affift  them  againft  the  Pamunky  Indians  in  the  fummer  time  with  every  fift  man 
out  of  the  inhabitants. 

Il  was  putt  to  the  queftion  whether  all  new  comers  fhall  bee  reftrained  from  planting 
tobacco  the  firft  yeare  and  they  to  bee  exempted  from  all  taxes,  and  marches  for  that 
yeare.    The  maior  part  would  have  no  reftraint  made  to  new  comers. 

It  was  put  to  the  quejtion  whether  for  this  yeare  there  fhould  be  an  ordinance  made 
and  eftablifhed  for  the  ftinting  of  the  planting  of  tobacco.  To  this  the  opinion  of  the 
moft  voices  was,  that  noe  perfons  workeing  the  ground,  which  are  all  to  be  thithable, 
fhould  plant  above  3000  plants  uppon  an  head. 

An  exception  is  made  where  the  familie  confifteth  of  children  and  woemen  which 
doe  not  worke  in  the  ground,  and  they  to  plant  not  above  1000  plants  per  pol.  In  cafe 
any  family  fhall  be  aggrieved  by  this  order  confifting  of  fome  nomber  of  woemen  and 
children.  It  is  thought  fitt  that  in  fpeciall  cafes  the  Governor  and  Councell  to  order 
them  a  further  proportion. 

Thefe  charges  following  were  allowed  by  the  General  Affembly,  viz: 
Imprimis.    To  M^  Marfharit  for  16  carriadges  for  ordinance,  there  is  allowed  for  his 

account  of  £.  208  04s  o2d.  fowre  thowfand  five  hundred  weight  of  tobacco,  foe  that 

the  remainder  that  was  not  paid  unto  him  laf t  yeare  fhall  be  fully  paid  and  delivered 

unto  him  this  yeare,  or  his  affignes,  lbs.  4Soo 

Item.  Six  barrells  of  powder,  bought  of  Capt.  Crampton,  and  yet  unfpent,  0900 

Item.  One  hhd.  of  wyne,  fpent  in  the  march,  0255 

Item.  One  ancor  loft  in  the  march  out  of  Lieut.  Thompjon  his  boate  0050

yeare  1629  0500 

ffor  one  hundred  of  fhott  more,  bought  of  M'  Barrington,  &  1-2  of  bifcuite

[The  lines  following  the  above,  are  fo  obliterated  as  not  to  be  legible  tiU  we  come 

to  the  words  "his  legg  which  hee  received  in  the  country's  fervice;"  from  which  we  may 

infer  that  the  above  item  is  on  account  of  a  wound  received  by  Capt.  Poole.] 

It  is  aljo  ordered  that  the  three  Indians  here  refiding  fhal  be  maintained  by  the 
general  charge  of  the  whole  colony. 

To  defray  all  the  charges  above  faid  the  whole  Affembly  concluded  that  there 
fhould  be  five  pounds  of  tobacco  per  pol  levyed  through  the  colony. 

It  is  further  concluded  and  ordered  that  every  mafter  of  a  family,  and  every  freeman 
that  is  to  pay  five  pounds  of  tobacco  per  pol  as  aforefaid  for  the  defraying  of  publique 
charges,  fhall  bring  the  fame  unto  the  Houfes  of  the  Burgeffes  of  the  plantations  with- 
in two  dayes  after  notice  thereof  given  unto  them.  And  if  any  fhall  faile  to  bring  in  the 
fame,  it  is  thought  fitt  that  by  virtue  of  this  order  the  faid  Burgeffes  fhall  have  power  to 
levy  the  fame  by  diftreffe,  upon  the  goods  of  the  delinquents,  and  to  make  fale  of  the 
faid  goods,  and  to  detaine  fuch  tobacco  which  fhall  be  due  by  this  order,  and  for  their 
fees  in  making  this  diftreffe,  reftoring  to  the  owner  of  the  faid  goods  the  refidue  and  re- 
mainder. And  if  the  Burgeffes  fhall  make  negledle  herein  they  fhall  be  fined  by  the 
Governor  and  Councell. 

The  Burgeffes  doe  undertake  to  provide  caske  to  putt  upp  the  fame  and  if  any 
damadge  fhall  befall  unto  the  tobacco,  it  fhall  not  light  uppon  the  Burgeffes,  unleffe 
they  fhall  be  faulty  therein. 

All 


(54) 

All  the  Burgeffes  are  with  all  convenient  fpeed  to  fend  to  the  Governor  a  lift  of  the 
tithable  perfons  within  their  plantations,  that  thereby  the  Governor  may  appoint  thofe 
that  are  the  creditors  for  this  tobacco  to  receive  it  and  that  he  take  order  to  have  an 
account  kept  of  the  fame. 

At  this  time  the  matter  of  ffortification  was  taken  into  confideration  and  there  was 
longe  debate  had  concerning  the  place  where  the  fforte  fhould  be  eredted.  Efpecially 
Point  Comfort  was  fpoken  of  and  was  thought  the  moft  convenient  place,  but  the  great 
and  many  difficultyes  therein,  and  the  want  of  meanes  and  materials  for  effedling  thereof 
doe  almoft  make  it  impoffible  for  our  weake  abilityes  to  bring  to  perfedlion:  therefore 
[the  lines  of  the  original  not  legible.]  both  the  affiftance  of  their  perfons  and  eftates  to 
accomplifh  fo  good  a  worke  as  to  raife  fortifications  which  will  be  both  a  fafetie  and 
reputation  unto  this  colony. 

It  is  ordered  that  there  bee  an  efpeciall  care  taken  by  all  commanders  and  others 
that  the  people  doe  repaire  to  their  churches  on  the  Saboth  day,  and  to  fee  that  the 
penalty  of  one  pound  of  tobacco  for  every  time  of  abfence  and  50  pounds  for  every 
months  abfence  fett  downe  in  the  a(5l  of  the  General  Alfembly  1623,  be  levyed  and  the 
delinquents  to  pay  the  fame,  as  alfoe  to  fee  that  the  Saboth  day  be  not  ordinarily  pro- 
faned by  workeing  in  any  imployments  or  by  ioumyeing  from  place  to  place. 

It  is  thought  fitt  that  all  thofe  that  worke  in  the  ground  of  what  qualitie  or  condition 
foever,  fhall  pay  tithes  to  the  minifters.

felves  to  the  juft  proporcon  of  one  thoufand  five  hundred  plants  per  poll  yearely  prohib- 
itinge  all  ratoones  and  fecond  cropps.  Onely  for  this  prefente  yeare  in  regard  wee  ftand 
doubtfull  of  the  conformity  of  other  plantacons  W''  will  much  prejudice  the  advaunce 
of  the  price  of  our  comodity  together  w""  refpedle  unto  our  ingagem"  and  taxes.  Wee 
humbly  intreate  yt  may  bee  lawfull  for  us  to  have  the  full  ufe  and  benefitt  of  plantinge 
Tobaccoe  not  negledlinge  the  plantinge  ftore  of  come,  the  propagating  gardens  and 
orchards,  and  the  breedinge  of  cattle  Hogges  and  powltry.  And  that  noe  tobaccoe  may 
paffe  But  fuch  as  fhall  be  found  good  and  merchantable  Wee  defire  that  twoe  men  or 
more  may  bee  appoynted  and  fwome  in  every  parifh  to  veiwe  the  tobaccoe  of  each  cropp 
and  what  they  fhall  find  good  to  bee  fealed  w"'  the  feale  appoynted  for  meafuringe  Bar- 
rells,  and  all  other  tobaccoe  to  bee  Bumte. 

2  Secondly  w""  the  like  fubmiffion  unto  his  Sacred  Ma'y  wee  anfwere  that  wee  con- 
ceave  yt  would  much  tend  to  the  advance  of  the  comodity  of  tobaccoe  that  a  certen  rate 
of  1 2  "^  ^  ">  for  fome  fewe  yeares  may  bee  fet  upon  all  the  tobaccoes  of  this  Colony  and  all 
other  His  Ma'^  plantacons  and  that  a  penalty  may  bee  impofed  upon  the  planters  not  to 
parte  w*""  yt  at  anie  under  rate,  and  that  noe  tobaccoe  of  this  Colony  Bee  putt  a  Board 
anie  Shipp  or  anie  parcell  of  anie  planters  cropp  Bee  payed  or  receaved  Before  the  firft 
day  of  February  yearely  Before  w^""  tyme  wee  conceave  that  all  tobaccoes  will  have  en- 
dured the  hazard  of  f poyleinge  whereby  the  glutt  and  vaft  quantityes  of  our  tobaccoes 
will  bee  much  leffened,  and  His  Ma'=  dutyes  and  cuftomes  much  advaunced,  when  as  noe 
pretence  can  bee  made  for  the  garblinge  of  tobaccoe  in  England.  But  fuch  as  fhall  bee 
damnified  by  the  infufficyency  of  Shippinge.  This  courfe  beinge  begun  may  continue 
twoe  or  three  yeares,  by  w*^*"  tyme  refpedlinge  the  goodnes  of  the  comodity  wee  may 
againe  joyntely  conclude  to  leffen  the  quantity  and  raife  the  price,  And  if  yt  fhall  bee 
deemed  His  Ma"  loffe  in  fallinge  from  foe  greate  to  a  farre  leffer  quantity  of  tobaccoe, 
our  defire  is  His  Ma"  profitts  may  bee  raifed  w""  ours.  This  wee  conceave  to  bee  the 
onely  way  to  advaunce  our  comodity  wherein  at  prefent  confif ts  our  cheefeft  releefe  and 
fubfif tance.  And  to  enable  us  for  the  indeavouringe  and  undertakeinge  of  other  comod- 
ityes  of  more  worthie  confequence,  and  w'*'out  this  courfe  yt  is  impoffible  for  us  to  abate 
or  leffen  ought  of  our  indeavour  from  Tobaccoe  more  then  the  garblinge  of  yt  heere  w'^'' 
win  much  leffen  the  quantity  in  regard  of  the  goodnes. 

J  Thirdly  w""  the  like  obedyence  unto  our  dread  Soveraigne,  Wee  anfwere  that 
the  eredlinge  and  buildinge  of  Stores  and  the  Bringeinge  of  every  man's  tobaccoe  unto 
them  would  bee  very  chargeable  and  burthenfome  to  the  whole  Colony  w'^''  at  prefent 
wee  are  very  vmable  to  undergoe,  befides  much  hazard  &  the  damadge  and  loffe  in  fpoyl- 
inge  greate  parte  of  our  Tobaccoes.  The  cafuallty  of  vi'ynd  and  weather  beinge  confidered 
in  refpe<5t  of  the  remoatenes  of  our  Plantacons  one  from  another.  And  wee  haveinge 
noe  other  meanes  to  export  our  tobaccoes  but  by  Boatinge  wee  humbly  intreate  that 
Convenient  fhippinge  may  bee  licenfed  to  come  into  every  County  where  they  will  find 
every  man's  howfe  a  ftore  convenient  enough  for  theire  ladinge  Wee  Beinge  all  feated  by 
the  Riverfide. 

4.  Power thly,  Whereas  His  Ma'^  hath  taken  into  his  princely  care  and  confidera- 
con  the  unconfcyonable  dealinges  of  Merchants  and  Seamen  exadlinge  the  prizes  of 
theire  goods  accordinge  to  the  neceffity  of  the  Colony  whereby  wee  are  brought  into 
very  greate  ingagem"  unto  them.  In  all  humblenes  and  thankfulnes  unto  His  Sacred 
Ma'"  Wee  anfwere  that  our  refolucons  and  indeavours  are  fully  Bent  to  free  our  felves 
from  that  thraldom  and  to  give  the  Merchants  fuch  good  and  tymely  fatisfaccon  as 
that  they  fhall  noe  way  bee  difcouraged  from  adventureing  hither  as  formerly  (although 
the  price  of  our  tobaccoe  be  raifed  w""  in  refpedl  of  leffeninge  the  quantity  and  betteringe 
the  Condicon  the  Merchants  will  the  fooner  yeald  unto)  For  the  life  of  our  beinge  and 
fubfiftance  principally  confifts  in  our  yearely  fupplyes,  and  our  freedomes  in  the  trade 

thereof 


(59) 

thereof,  w^*"  gives  greate  comforte  unto  us  His  Ma"  poore  Subjects,     But  many  and 
unfpeakeable  are  the  miferyes  of  the  Contradl. 

5.  Laftly,  whereas  His  Ma'^  hath  taken  into  his  Royall  confideracon  our  want  of 
a  Currant  coyne  for  the  encouragein'  of  tradefmen  to  followe  theire  feverall  profeffions 
and  hath  bene  gracoufely  pleafed  to  fignifie  unto  us  that  the  farthinge  tokens  that  paffe 
for  currant  rechaunge  w"'in  his  highnes  kingdome  of  England  fhall  bee  made  allfoe 
currant  heere.  Wee  w"'  the  like  obedience  unto  his  Sacred  Ma'^  doe  anfwere  that  in 
regard  the  faid  farthinges  are  ver>'  much  under  the  value  of  them  in  copper  and  therefore 
fubjedle  to  bee  altered,  that  all  tradefmen  and  others  will  bee  alltogether  difhartened 
to  take  them  in  fatisfaccon  for  theire  labours  or  in  exchaunge  for  Comodityes.  Wee 
therefore  humbly  defire  his  highnes  that  the  value  of  five  thoufand  pound  fterlinge 
may  bee  yearely  ymported  unto  us  until!  wee  bee  fufhcyently  fumifhed  therew"", 
whereby  Artificers  may  be  encouraged  to  ufe  theire  trades  Workemen  ymployed  in

much  leffened  by  our  feverall  Indeavours  in  buildinge  fhippinge  Eredtinge  of  townes

well  bee  accomplifhed  w"'out  a  Coyne.  And  that  y'  may  bee  the  more  porteable.  Wee  in 
all  humility  implore  his  facred  Ma'''  to  furnifh  us  w""  fuch  currant  coyne  of  filver,  under

[The  Reafons  of  the  Burgeffes'  Anfwer — Virginia.] 

To  the  right  Wofps  the  Governor  and  Counfell  oj  State 

THE  reafons  to  bee  annexed  to  the  anfwere  of  the  Burgeffes  w^""  they  have  allready 
prefented. 
I.  Firft  wee  humbly  intreate  your  Wofps  to  conceave  that  wee  cannot 
refolve  what  quantityes  of  o"  tobaccoe  will  bee  yearely  made  in  the  Collony 
in  refpedt  of  the  uncerten  nomber  of  people  yearely  comeinge  and  the  mortallity  of 
people  here  farre  greater  fome  yeares  then  others.  Soe  that  wee  are  not  at  anie  tyme 
certen  of  the  nomber  of  our  Inhabitants.  And  whereas  wee  defire  by  our  anfwere  the 
free  benefitt  &  ufe  of  our  coihodity  the  reafon  induceinge  thus  there  unto  is,  that  thereby 
people  may  bee  incouraged  to  come  out  of  England  to  plant  and  inhabite  here,  whereby 
the  Collony  will  bee  the  better  ftrengthened  and  fecured  from  anie  trecherous  pradtifes 
of  the  Natives  contrary  to  w^  the  reftraynte  of  our  liberty  of  plantinge  will  not  onely 
difharten  all  men  from  comeinge  hither  except  fuch  as  are  inforced  through  wante  & 
poverty  But  allfoe  will  caufe  many  of  the  Inhabitants  here  to  leave  this  Colony,  and 
purchafe  the  free  ufe  of  theire  labour  in  other  plantacons  foe  that  the  Colony  would 
bee  thereby  much  weakned  and  in  fhorte  tyme,  in  regard  of  our  yearely  mortaUity  wee 
fhould  bee  difabled  to  defend  ourfelves,  Cattle  and  Plantacons  from  the  tyranny  of 
the  Indyans. 

Further  the  limitacon  of  a  certen  nomber  of  plants  ^  poll  hath  allready  caufed 
diverfe  of  the  Inhabitants  to  forfake  their  Plantacons  and  to  neglefte  the  fencinge  of 
grounds,  the  plantinge  of  corne,  orchards  and  gardens,  the  makeinge  inclofures,  and 
pafture  for  cattle  and  other  ufes,  Beinge  neceffitated  for  theire  prefente  releefe  and 
fubfiftance  to  remove  and  plant  upon  fuch  grounds  as  would  yeald  moft  Tobaccoe  upon 

a 


(6o) 

a  Plante  allthough  they  have  fuffered  all  other  inconveniences  thereby  and  fuch  as  are 
not  able  to  remove  from  theire  ould  and  over  worne  grounds  are  kepte  by  the  limitacon 
of  a  certen  nomber  of  plants  ^  poll  in  perpetuall  poverty  and  ingagem',  in  regard  theire 
labour  upon  foe  manie  plants  will  not  produce  half  foe  much  tobaccoe  as  others.  And 
further  in  that  wee  have  defired  that  there  mi.i^ht  bee  conformity  in  all  his  Ma'"  planta- 
cons  for  the  quantity  of  plantinge,  Wee  conceave  that  the  vaft  and  exceffive  quantityes 
of  tobaccoe  w^""  are  yearely  made  in  the  Cariba  Iflands  beinge  generally  twice  as  much 
^  poll  at  the  leaft  as  wee  w""  the  uttermoft  of  our  indeavors  can  make,  hath  beene  the 
onely  meanes  to  beate  downe  the  price  of  all  tobaccoes,  foe  that  w"'out  a  conformity 
of  plantinge  in  all  his  Ma'^  plantacons  there  is  very  little  hopes  eyther  by  the  leffeninge 
or  betteringe  our  quantitye  in  this  Colony  to  advaunce  the  price. 

2.  Secondly,  Wee  humbly  intreate  Your  Wofps  to  confider  howe  prejudicyall  y' 
will  bee  to  the  Settlem'  of  this  Colony  for  us  to  propound  a  fome  or  ftock  of  monie  to 
bee  yearely  provided  to  take  of  our  tobaccoes  at  a  certen  price,  for  wee  conceave  that 
the  free  ufe  and  benefitt  of  the  trade  of  our  comodity  will  much  encourage  perfons  of 
quality  to  adventure  themfelves  and  theire  Eftates  hither  when  they  fhall  have  free 
correfpondence  w""  theire  freinds  and  other  adventurers  in  England  to  bee  furnifhed 
w"'  yearely  fupplyes,  and  to  make  the  beft  proflfitt  in  the  fale  of  theire  tobaccoes,  and 
animate  the  moft  induftrious  men  in  this  Colony  whoe  have  partely  freed  themfelves 
from  the  greedy  exaccons  of  the  Merchants  here  by  exportinge  of  theire  tobaccoes 
yearely  for  England  to  bee  fould,  for  theire  beft  advantage  and  retoitmed  in  neceffary 
coriiodityes  and  fyndeinge  themfelves  in  foe  good  courfe  have  hitherto  refolved  to  fettle 
theire  Eftates  here  for  pofterit}',  and  are  thereby  enabled  in  theire  refolucons  to  eredl 
good  buildinges,  plantinge  &  propagatinge  gardens  and  orchards,  fenceinge  and  Inclos- 
ures  for  Cattle  W^"*  are  the  onely  motives  caufeinge  every  man  to  accompte  that  place 
to  bee  his  fetled  habitacon  where  hee  hath  foe  voluntarily  fpente  his  indeavours.  W'^'' 
on  the  contrary  if  wee  fhall  bee  denyed  the  free  comerce  of  our  owne  comodity,  moft 
men  of  ability  and  induftry  will  converte  theire  whole  Eftates  into  tobaccoe  &  fo  refolve 
to  leave  and  forfake  the  Colony  and  take  the  oportunity  of  a  prefent  price  for  feare  of 
future  alteracon  therein,  whofe  examples  y'  is  to  bee  doubted,  that  all  men  that  can  will 
followe,  for  proofe  where  of  wee  can  inftance  divers  in  this  Colony  whoe  fearinge  the 
abridgm'  of  theire  former  libertyes  begin  to  repent  theire  feverall  difburfements  fome 
in  good  buildinge  and  others  in  purchafeinge  plantacons  and  buyeinge  of  Cattle.  Where- 
fore yt  is  much  to  be  feared  that  unles  His  Ma'>  will  be  pleafed  to  continue  us  in  our  free 
indeavours  the  future  hopes  of  this  Colony  will  bee  utterly  fubverted. 

J.  Thirdly  wee  humbly  intreate  yo'  wofps  to  confider  howe  inconvenient  and  pre- 
judiciall  yt  will  bee  to  build  warehowfes  and  to  bringe  our  Tobaccoe  to  them,  the  reafons 
wee  have  in  parte  fett  downe  in  our  anfweres  already  prefented  And  further  the  greateft 
parte  of  the  Inhabitants  are  in  wante  of  Boates  and  not  able  to  procure  them  foe  that 
they  muft  bee  forced  to  imparte  w">  a  greate  parte  of  theire  croppes  for  the  tranfpor- 
tacon  of  the  reft  unto  a  ftore  and  when  all  the  Tobaccoes  of  a  County  fhall  bee  brought 
into  one  ftore  the  cafualty  of  fyreinge  the  fame  w^  may  bee  accidentally  done  eyther 
by  the  Indyans  or  other  wife  befids  other  danger  of  fpoyleinge  will  caufe  diverfe  perfons 
to  bee  in  continuall  feare  of  utter  undoeinge  haveinge  no  other  meanes  for  the  releefe 
&  cloathinge  of  themfelves,  theire  wives,  children  and  familyes,  then  their  prefent  cropp. 
All  w^""  hazard  will  bee  prevented  by  every  man's  keeping  his  owne  comodity  and  deliv- 
eringe  yt  from  his  houfe. 

4.  Wee  humbly  entreate  Your  Worfps  to  confider  howe  unpoffible  yt  is  for  us  to 
give  a  generall  accompte  of  the  prefent  engagm"  of  every  perticular  man  and  the  tyme 
when  the  debts  were  made  and  what  thereof  is  unpayed,  when  wee  conceave  that  the 
third  parte  of  the  Countreys  debts  at  the  leaft  M'ere  made  by  perfons  deceafed  and  nowe 
remayne  to  be  payed  by  theire  Executors  or  Adminiftrators  whoe  can  give  no  other 

informacon 


(6i) 

informacon  of  them  then  that  they  are  foe  much  indebted  but  for  what  confideration 
the  faid  debts  were  made  they  are  alltogether  ignorant.  For  further  fatisfaccon  concem- 
inge  the  fowerth  propofition,  wee  humbly  referre  y"  to  our  anfwere  allready  prefented. 
5.  Lajtly  wee  humbly  intreate  Your  worfps  to  conceave  that  wee  are  noe  wayes 
doubtfull  of  the  Lord  Matravers  or  anie  other  whome  His  Ma'^  fhall  bee  pleafed  to 
appoynte  for  fupplyeinge  us  w""  a  coyne,  Onely  wee  defire  that  our  coyne  may  bee 
fomewhat  neere  the  value,  leaft  upon  anie  future  alteracon  yt  fhould  bee  a  meanes  to 
undoe  the  whole  Colony.  And  wee  conceave  that  the  fome  of  five  thoufand  pounds 
Sterlinge  yearely  (as  is  expreffed  in  our  former  anfwere)  will  bee  fuificyent  for  the 
payment  of  artificers  and  workmen.

WEE  have  accordinge  to  your  Wof ps  propoficon  w""  our  bef t  indeavo"  compofed 
our  former  anfweres  and  reafons  together  and  wee  humbly  intreate  your 
wof  ps  to  conceave  that  the  limittacon  of  planting  hath  cheefely  hindred  the

if  liberty  of  plantinge  had  beene  permitted  they  would  not  have  done.  And  further 
wee  humbly  intreate  your  Wofps  to  conceave  that  the  cheefeft  meanes  to  leffen  the 
quantity  and  better  the  quality  of  tobaccoe  will  be  to  take  an  exadle  and  carefuU  courfe 
in  veiweinge  all  tobaccoe  and  buminge  that  W""  is  bad.  For  by  the  due  execucon  thereof 
all  men  will  defift  from  theire  vaft  quantityes  and  indeavour  to  excell  in  the  goodnes 
W^*"  hath  allwayes  beene  helpefuU  to  the  price  Whereas  for  fome  fewe  yeares  paft  the

to  defend  ourfelves,  cattle  and  plantacons  from  the  tyranny  of  the  Natives  And  further

meanes  to  beate  downe  the  price  of  all  Tobaccoes.  This  courfe  beinge  begun  may  con- 
tinue twoe  or  three  yeares,  by  w"*'  tyme  wee  may  againe  joyntly  conclude  to  leffen  the 
quantity  and  raife  the  price  and  if  yt  fhall  bee  deemed  his  Ma"  loffe  in  his  cuftomes 
by  fallinge  from  foe  greate  to  a  farre  leffe  quantity  of  tobaccoe  Wee  humbly  defire  that

In  the  meane  tyme  wee  htunbly  intreate  to  have  the  free  ufe  and  benefitt  in  the

whereof  wee  can  inftance  diverfe  in  the  Colony  whoe  fearinge  the  abridgem'  of  theire

that  unles  his  Sacred  Ma"'  will  bee  pleafed  to  continue  us  in  our  free  indeavours,  the

(64) 

inconveniencies  thereby  And  fuch  as  have  not  beene  able  to  remove  from  theire  ould 
and  overwome  plantacons  have  beene  kept  by  that  Hmittacon  in  continuall  poverty 
and  ingagem".  In  regard  theire  labour  upon  foe  manie  plants  would  not  produce  halfe 
foe  much  tobaccoe  as  others  upon  newe  ground.  Wee  humbly  intreate  that  wee  may 
have  the  free  liberty  of  plantinge  tobaccoe  as  well  as  thofe  his  Ma"  Subjedls  upon  other 
plantacons  untill  there  bee  a  generall  conformity  and  that  noe  tobaccoe  may  paffe 
but  fuch  as  fhall  bee  founde  good  and  merchantable.  Wee  humbly  defire  that  twoe 
men  or  more  in  every  parifh  bee  appoynted  and  fworne  to  veiwe  the  tobaccoe  of  each 
man's  cropp  and  what  they  fhall  find  good  to  bee  fealed  w""  the  feale  appoynted  for 
meafures,  and  all  other  tobaccoe  to  bee  burnte,  And  further  that  noe  tobaccoe  fhall 
bee  payed  or  receaved  out  of  anie  man's  cropp  or  putt  on  board  anie  Shipp  before  the 
firft  day  of  January  yearely  before  w"^*"  tyme  wee  conceave  all  tobaccoe  will  have  endured 
the  hazard  of  fpoyleinge  foe  that  the  glutt  and  vaft  quantity  of  our  tobaccoe  will  bee 
much  leffened  and  his  Ma'«  dutyes  and  cuftomes  much  advaunced  When  as  noe  pre- 
tence can  bee  made  for  the  garblinge  of  tobaccoe,  But  fuch  as  fhall  bee  damnified  by 
the  infufficyency  of  fhippinge. 

With  the  like  obedience  unto  our  dread  Soveraigne  wee  humbly  anfwere  that  the 
eredlinge  and  buildinge  of  generall  warehowfes  and  bringeinge  our  tobaccoe  unto  them 
will  bee  very  chargeable  and  burthenfome  to  the  Colony  W''  at  prefent  wee  are  very 
unable  to  undergoe  Befides  much  hazard  of  the  damadge  and  fpoyleinge  our  tobaccoes 
by  boatinge  in  refpedle  of  the  remoutenes  of  our  plantacons  one  from  another,  the 
cafuallty  of  wynd  and  weather  beinge  conlidered  and  the  greate  charge  to  moft  of  the 
Inhabitants  whoe  for  want  of  fufficyent  boates  and  meanes  to  procure  them  will  bee 
continually  inforced  to  pay  for  the  tranfportacon  of  theire  tobaccoes  unto  the  faid 
Stores  or  Warehowfes,  allfoe  the  continuall  danger  of  fyreinge  fuch  ftores  eyther  by 
the  Indyans  or  otherwife,  W"^*"  accident  happenninge  would  bee  the  utter  undoeinge  of 
diverfe  of  his  Ma"  poore  fubjedles  whofe  yearely  cropps  are  the  onely  meanes  for  the 
relefe  of  themf elves  theire  Wives,  Children  and  Familyes  w""  cloathinge  and  other 
neceffaryes  Wherefore  wee  humbly  intreate  that  convenient  fhippinge  may  bee  licenfed 
to  come  into  every  County  where  they  will  find  every  man's  howfe  ftores  convenient 
for  theire  ladeinge.  Wee  beinge  all  feated  by  the  rivers  fide. 

And  whereas  his  Ma"'=  hath  taken  into  his  Princely  care  and  confideracon  the  uncon- 
fcyonable  dealinges  of  Merchants  and  Seamen  exa(5linge  the  prices  of  theire  goods

ingagements  Wee  humbly  intreate  your  wofps  to  confider  howe  unpoffible  yt  is  for  us 
to  give  a  generall  accompt  of  the  prefent  ingagem"  of  every  particular  man  and  the 
tyme  when  the  debts  were  made  and  what  thereof  is  unpayde  when  wee  conceave  that

faid  debts  were  made  they  are  altogether  ignorant.  Further  w""  all  fubmiffion  and 
thankf ullnes  unto  our  gracous  Soveraigne  Wee  anfwere  that  our  refolucons  and  indeav- 
ours  are  fully  bent  to  free  our  felves  from  the  thraldome  of  debtes  and  to  give  the 
Merchants  fuch  good  and  tymely  fatisfaccon  as  that  they  fhall  noe  way  bee  difcouraged 
from  adventuringe  hither  as  formerly  allthough  the  price  of  our  Tobaccoe  bee  raifed

"Virginia" 

"The  laft  Anfwere  of  the  Burgeffes" 


[From  Hening's  Statutes  at  Large,  I,  230-238.] 

[Two  Papers  of  the  1641/42  Affembly.] 

The  Declaration  againft  the  Company  to  be  entered  as  the  twenty-firft  adl. 

TO  all  chriftian  people  to  whom  thefe  prefents  fhall  come  to  be  read,  heard  or 
underftood,  We  the  Governor,  Council  and  Burgeffes  of  the  Grand  Affembly 
in  Virginia  fend  greeting  in  our  Lord  God  Everlafting:  Whereas  George 
Sanctis,  Efq.  being  appointed  agent  for  the  colony  by  an  Affembly  1639  hath 
exhibited  a  petition  in  the  name  of  the  adventurers  and  planters  in  Virginia  to  the  Hon- 
ourable Houfe  of  Commons  in  Parliament  in  England  for  the  reftoring  of  the  letters  pat- 
ents of  incorporation  to  the  late  Treafurer  and  Company — miftaking  his  advice  and 
inftrudlions  from  the  faid  Affembly;  for  his  fo  doing  it  being  neither  the  meaning  nor 
intent  of  the  faid  Affembly  or  inhabitants  here  for  to  give  way  for  the  introducing  of  the 
faid  company  or  any  other. 

To  which  intent  and  purpofe  this  Grand  Affembly  having  fully  debated  and  ma- 
turely confidered  the  reafons  on  both  fides  as  well  arguing  for  as  againft  a  company  and 
looking  back  into  the  condition  of  the  times  under  the  company  as  alfo  upon  the  prefent 
ftate  of  the  colony  under  his  majefties  government  they  find  the  late  company  in  their 
government  intollerable  the  prefent  comparatively  happy  and  that  the  old  corporation 
cannot  with  any  poffibility  be  again  introduced  without  abfolute  ruin  and  diffolution 
to  the  colony  for  thefe  reafons  following,  vizi. 

ijt.  The  intollerable  calamity  of  the  colony  we  find  proved  by  many  illegal  pro- 
ceedings and  barbarous  torments  infli(5led  upon  divers  of  his  majefties  fubjedls  in  the 
time  of  the  faid  companies  government  all  which  appear  per  depofitions  taken  at  a  Grand 
Affembly  anno  1632  and  is  known  to  divers  now  living  in  the  colony. 

Alfo  we  find  the  whole  trade  of  the  colony  to  the  general  grievance  and  complaint 
of  the  inhabitants  then  and  now  appearing  to  us  monopolized  by  the  faid  company  info- 
much  that  upon  the  going  home  of  any  perfon  for  his  country  it  was  not  free  for  him  to 
carry  with  him  the  fruits  of  his  labour  for  his  own  comfort  and  relief  but  was  forced  to 
bring  it  to  the  magazine  of  the  company  and  there  to  exchange  it  for  ufelefs  and  unprofit- 
able wares. 

2dly.  The  prefent  happinef s  is  exemplified  to  us  by  the  freedom  of  yearly  affemblies 
warranted  unto  us  by  his  majefties  gracious  inftrudlions  and  the  legal  trial  per  juries  in 
all  criminal  and  civil  caufes  where  it  fhall  be  demanded.  And  above  all  by  his  majefties 
royal  incovu-agement  tmto  us  upon  all  occafions  to  addrefs  ourfelves  unto  him  by  our 
humble  petitions  which  doth  fo  much  dif tinguifh  our  happinefs  from  that  of  the  former 
times  that  private  letters  to  friends  were  rarely  admitted  paffage. 

To  the  third  for  introducing  the  old  corporation  without  ruin  and  diffolution  to  the 
colony  at  prefent  as  a  thing  not  poffible  we  conceive  we  have  thefe  jixft  grounds. 

ift.  There  can  be  no  right  or  property  introduced  for  them  without  proving  the 
illegality  of  the  King's  proceedings  fo  that  all  grants  fince  upon  fuch  a  foundation  muft  of 
confequence  be  *  *  *  and  tending  to  difpleafure,  we  the  prefent  planters  enjoy  our 
lands  by  immediate  grant  from  his  majefty  if  (as  it  is  argued  in  their  petition)  the  King 
had  no  power  to  grant  our  poffeffions  muft  give  place  to  their  claim  which  is  one  in- 
vincible argument  (as  we  conceive)  of  the  ruin  and  diffolution  to  the  colony  at  prefent; 
when  if  their  pretences  take  place  we  muft  be  outed  of  all.  And  whereas  it  is  alledged  that 
the  charter  of  orders  from  the  Treafurer  and  Company  anno  16 18,  gives  us  claim  and 

right 


(67) 

right  to  be  members  of  the  corporation  quatenus  planters  we  find  the  company  by  the 
faid  charter  where  members  planters  and  adventurers  are  confidered  by  themfelves  and 
diftinguifhed  in  privileges  from  planters  and  adventurers  not  being  members  and  we 
further  find  ourfelves  (being  the  King's  grantees)  in  the  faid  charter  condemned,  the 
claufe  plainly  pronouncing  in  thefe  words  (we  do  ordaine  that  all  fuch  perfons  as  of  their 
own  voluntary  will  and  authority  fhall  remove  into  Virginia  without  any  grant  from  us 
in  a  great  and  general  quarter  court  in  writing  under  our  feals  fhall  be  deemed,  as  they 
are,  occupiers  of  our  land  that  is  to  fay  of  the  common  land  of  us  the  faid  Treafurer  and 
Company)  much  more  fuch  grantees  as  have  their  right  from  an  erronious  judgment  as 
they  pretend. 

2dly.  That  if  the  Company  be  renewed  by  which  means  they  as  aforefaid  have  leave 
and  the  ftrength  of  their  own  charter  of  orders  publicly  in  this  colony  to  dif plant  us  the 
wifer  world  we  hope  will  excufe  us  if  we  be  wary  to  depart  with  what  (next  our  lives) 
neareft  concerns  us  (which  are  our  eftates  being  the  livelihood  of  ourfelves,  wives  and 
children)  to  the  curtefy  and  will  of  fuch  taskmafters  from  whom  we  have  already  experi- 
mented fo  much  oppreffion. 

3dly.  We  may  not  admit  of  fo  unnatural  a  diftance  as  a  company  will  interpofe  be- 
tween his  facred  majefty  and  us  his  fubjedls  from  whofe  immediate  protedlion  we  have  re- 
ceived fo  many  royal  favours  and  gracious  bleffings 

For  by  fuch  admiffion 

ijt.  We  fhall  degenerate  from  the  condition  of  our  birth  being  naturalized  under  a 
monarchical  government  and  not  a  popular  and  tumultuary  government  depending  upon 
greateft  number  of  votes  of  perfons  of  feveral  humours  and  difpofitions  as  this  of  a  com- 
pany muft  be  granted  to  be  from  whofe  general  quarter  courts  all  laws  binding  the 
planters  here  did  and  would  again  iffue. 

2dly.  We  cannot  without  breach  of  natural  duty  and  religion  give  up  and  refign  the 
lands  which  we  had  granted  and  hold  from  the  king  upon  certain  annual  rents  (fitter 
as  we  himibly  conceive  if  his  majefty  fhall  fo  pleafe^for  a  branch  of  his  own  royal  ftem 
then  for  a  company)  to  the  claim  of  a  corporation;  for  befides  our  births  our  poffeffions 
enjoin  us  as  a  fealty  without  a/alvafide  aliis  dominis. 

We  conceive  by  admiffion  to  a  company  the  freedom  of  our  trade  (which  is  the  blood

and  moft  fubtility  argue  for  a  company  tho'  they  pretend  to  fubmit  the  government  to 
the  King  yet  they  referve  to  the  corporation  propriety  to  the  land  and  power  of  manag- 
ing the  trade,  which  word  managing  in  any  fence  taken  we  can  no  ways  interpret,  then 
a  convertable  to  monopolizing;  for  whether  in  this  fence  that  all  the  commodities  raifed 
in  the  colony  fhall  be  parted  with,  exchanged  or  vended  at  fuch  rates  and  prifes  as  they 
fet  down  or  fuch  wares  and  merchandize  as  they  fhall  import  or  be  difpofed  into  their 
magazine  or  fuch  bottoms  as  fhall  from  time  to  time  be  licenfed  or  ordered  by  them,  or 
whether  in  this  fence  that  the  planters  [obtain  ?]  only  fuch  comodities  and  in  fuch  pro- 
portions as  by  advice  and  determination  of  their  quarter  courts  fhall  be  direfted,  ftill 
the  terms  and  condition  of  the  planters  are  fubjedled  to  a  monopoly  that  is  to  their 
fole  guidance  governing  and  managing  with  what  reafon  we  leave  to  the  world  to 
judge ;  for  tho'  we  fubmit  in  depth  of  judgment  and  imderf tanding  to  fuch  as  fhall  fit  at 
the  helm  there,  yet  it  is  very  poffible  and  indeed  moft  probable  that  at  this  diftance  wife 
men  may  miftake  and  there  is  more  likelyhood  that  fuch  as  are  acquainted  with  the 
clime  and  the  accidents  thereof  may  upon  better  grounds  prefcribe  our  advantages  both 
for  quantity  and  quality  of  commodities  which  by  the  bounty  of  his  majefty  we  now 
enjoy  by  our  Grand  Affembly  and  in  any  other  way  will  be  deftru(5live  unto  us  accord-

Though  we  may  admit  the  pretence  that  the  government  fhall  be  made  good  to  the 
King  that  is  that  the  King  fhall  nominate  and  appoint  the  Governor.  Firft  we  find  it 
direcftly  (befides  the  feope  of  the  part  which  infifts  upon  the  reftoring  of  the  company  in

A  Remonftrance-  of  the  Grand  Affembly. 

T  TT  T  HERE  AS  the  natural  and  moft  wifhed  effedls  of  Affemblys  may  fummarily  be 
1/1/  comprehended  and  [in]  the  ordering  and  enaAing  of  good  and  wholefome 
'    '  laws  and  ratifying  and  relieving  of  fuch  diforders  and  grievances  which  are 

incident  to  all  ftates  and  republic[s]  in  which  confiderations  this  Affembly 
may  feem  to  have  declined  and  fwerved  from  thofe  true  intents  of  fo  happy  conf titutions 
if  their  endeavours  and  declarations  be  apprehended  either  by  a  bare  view  of  the  laws  few 
in  number  and  therefore  not  anfwering  the  expectation  of  a  meeting  exceeding  cuftomary 
limits  of  time  in  this  place  ufed  or  by  comparing  the  payments  and  levies  now  impofed 
much  more  free  and  in  refpedl  that  in  them  the  grievance  of  the  inhabitants  were  princi- 
pally ftated, 

It  is  therefore  thought  fit  by  them  to  prefent  and  remonftrate  to  the  colony  the 
weighty  confequence  and  benefits  redounding  thereto  by  their  late  confultations. 

ijt.  The  firft  is  inf tanced  by  repealing  the  adl  of  four  pound  per  poll  yearly  to  the 
Gov.  which  is  a  benefit  defcending  unto  us  and  our  pofterity  which  we  acknowledge 
contributed  to  us  by  our  prefent  Gov. 

Next  by  abollifhing  condemnations  and  cenfures  (prefidental  from  the  time  of  the 
corporation)  of  the  inhabitants  from  colonies  fervice  wherein  we  may  not  likewife  filence 
the  bounty  of  our  prefent  Governor  in  preferring  the  public  freedom  before  his  particu- 
lar profit  in  which  adl  alfo  we  may  pronounce  the  inliabitants  abfolutely  to  have 
recorded  the  birthright  of  their  mother  nation  and  the  remains  of  the  late  companys  op- 
preffion  to  be  quite  extinguifhed. 

3dly.  The  near  approach  which  we  have  made  to  the  laws  and  cuftoms  of  England 
in  proceedings  of  the  court  and  trials  of  caufes. 

4thly.  The  rules  and  formes  fet  down  for  deciding  of  diiierencies  and  debates  con- 
cerning titles  of  land  and  otherwife. 

5thly.  The  appropriating  and  accomodating  of  parifhes  with  metes  and  bounds  that 
God  Almighty  may  be  the  more  duly  ferved. 
6thly. 

•  "RemonTtrance"  here  means  a  ftatement  or  reprefentation. 


(70) 

6thly.  The  treaties  and  overtures  with  the  Gov.  of  the  province  of  Mariland  re- 
quiring much  time  for  maturing  and  very  fuccefsful  in  opening  a  trade  in  the  Bay  of  Ches- 
fepiake. 

phly.  The  fetUng  of  peace  with  friendfhip  with  the  Indians  by  mutual  capitulation 
and  articles  agreed  and  concluded  on  in  writing  by  many  meffages  and  interruptions 
lengthened. 

8thly.  The  Common  grievances  releived  and  removed  in  affeafments  proportion- 
ing in  fome  meafure  payments  according  to  mens  abilities  and  eftates  augmented  unto 
the  wealtheir  fort  by  the  number  of  the  milk  kind  and  in  that  relief  afforded  to  the  poorer 
fort  of  the  inhabitants  which  courfe  through  the  ftrangnefs  thereof  could  not  but  require 
much  time  of  controverting  and  debating. 

Qthly.  Laftly  the  gracious  inclination  of  his  majefty  ever  ready  to  our  prote(5lion  and 
now  more  particularly  affured  to  us  together  with  the  concurrence  of  a  happy  parliament 
in  England  were  the  greater  motives  to  us  to  take  the  opportunity  of  eftablifhing  our 
liberties  and  privileges  and  fetling  our  eftates  often  heretofore  affaulted  and  threatned 
and  was  lately  invaded  by  the  late  corporation  and  of  preventing  the  future  defigns 
of  monopolizers  contractors  and  preemptors  ever  hitherto  inceffant  upon  us  not  only  be- 
reaving us  of  all  cheerfulnefs  and  alacrety  but  ufurping  the  benefit  and  difpofition  of  our 
labours  and  we  apprehended  no  time  could  be  mifpent  or  labour  mifplaced  in  gaining 
a  firm  peace  to  ourfelves  and  pofterity  and  a  future  imunity  and  eafe  from  taxes  and 
impofitions  which  we  expedl  to  be  the  fruits  of  our  endeavours  and  to  which  end  we  have 
thought  it  feafonable  for  us  liberally  and  freely  to  open  our  purfes  not  doubting  but  all 
well  affedted  perfons  will  with  all  zeal  and  good  affecftion  embrace  the  purchafe  and  pray 
to  Almighty  God  for  the  fuccefs. —  Given  at  a  Grand  Affembly  at  James  City  the  firft  of 
July  1642.

over  bufily  &  ref tlefly  imployed  to  gaine  theire  ends  upon  us : 

ffor  wee  may  not  ^fume  on  fuch  a  thought  that  the  moft  hono*"''  houfes  of  Parlia- 
ment would  conclude  us  in  a  Cafe  of  right  &  priviledge  granted  unto  us  by  ancient 
Chart'.  (Vidzt)  that  it  fhould  be  lawfull  for  the  Planters  to  entertaine  trade  with  any 
nation  or  people  in  amitye  with  his  Ma"^  efpecially  without  hearing  of  the  p'ties  princi- 
pally interefted,  w*^''  infringeth  noe  leffe  the  libertye  of  the  Collony  &  a  right  of  deare 
efteeme  to  free  borne  ^fons:  (Vidzt)  that  noe  lawe  fhotild  bee  eftablifhed  within  the 
kingdome  of  England  conceminge  us  without  the  confent  of  a  grand  Affembly  here. 

Or  in  Cafe  the  moft  hon'''"=  hotifes  have  bin  abufed  &  by  the  wylie  &  fpetious 
^tences  of  Merchants,  or  Seamen  trading  to  the  Collony  bin  circumvented  to  the  paffmg 
of  fuch  an  Ordinance,  wee  are  affured  the  Juftnes  of  our  Caufe  will  finde  admittance  & 
vindication  from  y'  hono'''^  Counfell:  The  rights,  immunities  &  priviledges  of  our  Charter 
by  as  due  a  Clayme  belongeinge  to  us,  as  is  the  wages  of  an  hirelinge  that  hath  laboured 
for  it,  for  they  only  gave  us  Invitacon  &  were  the  Condiconall  reward  &  guerdon  p'pound- 
ed  for  our  Undertakeings  in  thofe  rugged  paths  of  Plantacon. 

But  haveing  neyther  received  p'hibition  or  Intimacon  concerning  the  fayd  trade,  wee 
can  interprett  noeother  thing  from  the  report,  then  a  forgerye  of  avaritious  ^fons, 
whofe  fickle  hath  bin  ever  long  in  our  harveft  allreadye. 

Howfoever  if  the  A(ft  were  illegal!  (though  on  the  contrary  wee  are  warranted  by 
right  &  therefore  by  lawe)  wee  muf t  like  Creatures  even  of  fence  p'vide  for  our  owne  fafe- 
ties  &  fubfiftance. 

In  Order  whereupon,  wee  doe  againe  invite  the  Dutch  Nation,  &  againe  publifh  & 
declare  all  ffreedome  &  libertie  to  them  to  trade  within  the  Collony.  And  doe  oblige 
ourfelves  &  the  whole  Collony  to  defend  them  with  our  uttermoft  power  &  abilitye,  in 
the  peaceable  fruition  thereof  eyther  by  reparacon  from  the  eftates  of  thofe  who  fhall 
offer  them  any  violence  or  caufe  them  any  dift urban ce  or  otherwife;  &  fhall  p'ceede 
gainft  them  as  Oppugners  of  our  undoubted  rights  &  priviledges.

[Speech  of  Sir  ff^m.  Berkeley,  and  Dec- 
laration of  the  Affembly,  March 
1651  (1650/51)} 

^"^ENTLEMEN  you  perceave  by  the  Declaration  that  the  men  of  Weftminjter 

m    -»-     have  fet  out,  which  I  beleeve  you  have  all  feene,  how  they  meane  to  deale  with 

^>-«^       you  hereafter,  who  in  the  time  of  their  wooing  and  courting  you  propound 

fuch  hard  Conditions  to  be  performed  on  your  parts,  &  on  their  owne  nothing 

but  a  benigne  acceptance  of  your  duties  to  them. 

Indeed  me  thinks  they  might  have  propofed  fomething  to  us  which  might  have 
ftrengthned  us  to  beare  thofe  heavy  chaines  they  are  making  ready  for  us,  though  it 
were  but  an  affurance  that  we  fhall  eat  the  bread  for  which  our  owne  Oxen  plow,  and 
with  our  owne  fweat  we  reape;  but  this  affurance  (it  feemes)  were  a  franchife  beyond  the 
Condition  they  have  refolu'd  on  the  Queftion  we  ought  to  be  in :  For  the  reafon  why  they 
talke  fo  Magifterially  to  us  in  this,  we  are  forfooth  their  worfhips  flaves,  bought  with 
their  money  and  by  confequence  ought  not  to  buy,  or  fell  but  with  thofe  they  fhall 
Authorize  with  a  few  trifles  to  Cofzen  us  of  all  for  which  we  toile  and  labour. 

If  the  whole  Current  of  their  reafoning  were  not  as  ridiculous,  as  their  a(5lions  have 
been  Tyrannicall  and  bloudy;  we  might  wonder  with  what  browes  they  could  fuftaine 
fuch  impertinent  affertions :  For  if  you  looke  into  it,  the  ftrength  of  their  argument  runs 
onely  thus :  we  have  laid  violent  hands  on  your  Land-Lord,  poffefs'd  his  Manner  houfe 
where  you  ufed  to  pay  your  rents,  therfore  now  tender  your  refpedls  to  the  fame  houfe 
you  once  reverenced :  I  call  my  confcience  to  witnes,  I  lie  not,  I  cannot  in  all  their  Dec- 
laration perceave  a  ftronger  argument  for  what  they  would  impofe  on  us,  then  this  which 
I  have  now  told  you :  They  talke  indeed  of  money  laid  out  on  this  Country  in  its  infancy : 
I  will  not  fay  how  little,  nor  how  Centuply  repaid,  but  will  onely  aske,  was  it  theirs? 
They  who  in  the  beginning  of  this  warr  were  fo  poore,  &  indigent,  that  the  wealth  and 
rapines  of  three  Kingdomes  &  their  Churches  too,  cannot  yet  make  rich,  but  are  faine 
to  feeke  out  new  Territories  and  impofitions  to  fuftaine  their  Luxury  amongft  them- 
felves.  Surely  Gentlemen  we  are  more  flaves  by  nature,  then  their  power  can  make  us  if 
we  fuffer  our  f elves  to  be  fhaken  with  thefe  paper  bulletts,  &  thofe  on  my  life  are  the 
heavieft  they  either  can  or  will  fend  us. 

'Tis  true  with  us  they  have  long  threatned  the  Barbados,  yet  not  a  fhip  goes  thither 
but  to  beg  trade,  nor  will  they  do  to  us,  if  we  dare  Honourably  refift  their  Imperious 
Ordinance.  Affuredly  Gentlemen  you  have  heard  under  what  heavy  burthens,  the 
afHidled  Englijh  Nation  now  groanes,  and  calls  to  heaven  for  relief:  how  new  and  for- 
merly unheard  of  impofitions  make  the  wifes  pray  for  barrenefs  and  their  hufbands  deaf- 
nes  to  exclude  the  cryes  of  their  fuccourles,  ftarving  children:  And  I  am  confident  you 
do  believe,  none  would  long  endure  this  flavery,  if  the  fword  at  their  throats  Did  not 
Compell  them  to  Languifh  under  the  mifery  they  howrely  fuffer.  Looke  on  their  fuffer- 
ings  with  the  eyes  of  underftanding,  and  that  will  prevent  all  your  teares  but  thofe  of 
Compaffion.  Confider  with  what  prifons  and  Axes  they  have  paid  thofe  that  have  ferved 
them  to  the  hazard  of  their  foules :  Confider  your  f elves  how  happy  you  are  and  have 
been,  how  the  Gates  of  wealth  and  Honour  are  fhut  on  no  man,  and  that  there  is  not  here 
an  Arbitrary  hand  that  dares  to  touch  the  fubftance  of  either  poore  or  rich :  But  that 
which  I  woud  have  you  chiefly  confider  with  thankfullnes  is :  That  God  hath  feperated 
you  from  the  guilt  of  the  crying  bloud  of  our  Pious  Souveraigne  of  ever  bleffed  memory : 

But 


(76) 

But  miftake  not  Gentlemen  part  of  it  will  yet  ftaine  your  garments  if  you  willingly  fub- 
mit  to  thofe  murtherers  hands  that  fhed  it :  I  tremble  to  thinke  how  the  oathes  they  will 
impofe  will  make  thofe  guilty  of  it,  that  have  long  abhor'd  the  traiteroufneffe  of  the 
a(5l:  But  I  confeffe  having  had  fo  frequent  teftimonies  of  your  truths  and  courages, 
I  cannot  have  a  reafonable  fufpition  of  any  cowardly  falling  of  from  the  former  refo- 
lutions,  and  have  onely  mentioned  this  laft,  as  a  part  of  my  duty  and  care  of  you,  not 
of  my  reall  doubts  and  fears :  or  if  with  untryed  men  we  were  to  argue  on  this  fubjedl, 
what  is  it  can  be  hoped  for  in  a  change,  which  we  have  not  allready?  Is  it  liberty? 
The  fun  looks  not  on  a  people  more  free  then  we  are  from  all  oppreffion.  Is  it  wealth? 
Hundreds  of  examples  fhew  us  that  Induftry  &  Thrift  in  a  fhort  time  may  bring  us  to 
as  high  a  degree  of  it,  as  the  Country  and  our  Conditions  are  yet  capable  of:  Is  it  fe- 
curety  to  enjoy  this  wealth  when  gotten?  With  out  blufhing  I  will  fpeake  it,  I  am  confi- 
dent theare  lives  not  that  perfon  can  accufe  me  of  attempting  the  leaft  adl  againft  any 
mans  property?  Is  it  peace?  The  Indians,  God  be  bleffed  round  about  us  are  fubdued; 
we  can  onely  feare  the  Londoners,  who  would  faine  bring  us  to  the  fame  poverty,  where- 
in the  Dutch  found  and  relieved  us ;  would  take  away  the  liberty  of  our  confciences,  and 
tongues,  and  our  right  of  giving  and  felling  our  goods  to  whom  we  pleafe.  But  Gentlemen 
by  the  Grace  of  God  we  will  not  fo  tamely  part  with  our  King,  and  all  thefe  bleffmgs  we 
enjoy  under  him;  and  if  they  oppofe  us,  do  but  follow  me,  I  will  either  lead  you  to  vidtory, 
or  loofe  a  life  which  I  cannot  more  glorioufly  facrifice  then  for  my  loyalty,  and  your 

fecurity. 

Vera  Copia  John  Corker 

Cler:   Dom:   Commons. 

This  fpeech  being  ended  the  pretended  Aft  of  Parliament  was  publiquely  read  in 
the  Affembly  where  upon  (at  the  motion  of  the  Houfe  of  Commons  to  the  Govemour 
and  Councell)  this  following  vindication  was  unanimoufly  agreed  on. 

We  The  Govemour  Coimcell  and  Burgeffes  of  Virginea,  have  feene  a  printed  paper 
bearing  date  at  London  the  3.  of  Odoh.  1651.  wherein  (with  other  Plantations  of  America) 
we  are  prohibited  trade  and  Commerce  with  all  but  fuch  as  the  prefent  power  fhall  allow 
of :  We  likewif e  fee  our  felves  branded  in  it  with  the  ignominious  names  of  Rebells  and 
Traitors,  which  we  fo  much  abhor,  that  we  would  deteft  our  felves  if  we  thought  they 
were  defervedly  impofed  on  us:  And  fhall  take  leave  to  thinke  we  are  unworthily 
flandered,  till  ftronger  proofes  then  we  yet  find,  are  brought  againft  us  to  convince  our 
judgements  and  Confciences  that  we  are  guilty  of  thofe  Horrid  Crimes.  Therfore  though 
we  profeffe  that  our  judgments  and  induftry,  have  been  long  folely  and  neceffarily  im- 
ployed  in  providing  againft  the  neceffities  of  our  poore  families,  and  by  Confequence 
fhould  not  prefume  that  any  A(5l  or  Tranfaftion  of  ours  could  be  worthy  the  publique 
view :  Yet  fmce  the  plaineft  vindication  of  innocencie  is  accepted,  we  fhall  intimate  the 
reafons  of  ours,  imploring  charitable  and  abler  judgments  to  perfedl  what  we  fhall  hint 
to  them  in  our  anfweares,  to  the  Afperfions  we  find  Authorifed  againft  us. 

And  Firjt  whereas  they  fay.  That  the  Plantations  in  America  were  feated  at  the  Coft 
and  eftablifhed  by  the  Authority  of  fome  in  England,  and  therfore  ought  to  be  governed 
by  the  Lawes  of  England. 

We  conceave  we  may  fafely  confeffe  all  this,  and  yet  not  run  the  Hazard  of  any 
mifprifion  of  guilt,  nay  we  thinke,  this  only  teftimony  of  theirs  were  fufificient  to  cleere 
us  from  the  Afperfions  of  Rebells,  and  Traitors,  if  we  had  no  other  markes  of  inno- 
cency  left  us :  For  we  fay,  we  were  fome  of  us  fent,  others  permitted  to  come  hither  by 
the  gratious  favour  of  our  Pious  Kings,  fwome  to  goveme,  and  be  governed  (as  farr  as 
poffible  the  place  was  Capable  of)  by  the  Lawes  of  England;  which  lawes  we  have  invio- 
lably and  facredly  kept  as  farr  as  our  abilityes  to  execute  and  our  Capacityes  to  judge 
would  permit  us,  and  with  reafon;  for  thefe  lawes  onely  in  fuch  times  of  tumults,  ftormes, 
and  tempefts,  can  humanely  prevent  our  mines:  Thefe  lawes  often  enjoyned  us  the 

Oathes 


{77) 

Oathes  of  Allegiance  and  Supremacy,  and  they  tell  us,  that  no  power  on  earth  can  ab- 
folve  or  manumit  us  from  our  obedience  to  our  Prince,  and  his  lawfull  fucceffors :  Thefe 
lawes  tell  us  that  when  we  have  don  all  we  can  to  avoyd  it,  we  may  refift  violence  with 
force,  and  in  a  lawfull  defence  of  our  felves,  deftroy  any  that  fhall  endeavour  to  take 
away  our  lives  or  fubftance :  Thefe  lawes  we  profeffe  are  our  guides  and  do  beleeve  we 
deferve  punifhment  and  infamy  if  we  willingly,  or  willfully  deviate  from  them. 

Secondly  fuppofe  we  were  fuch  (laves  by  nature  as  to  be  awed  with  the  iron  rods 
held  over  us,  in  what  hand  foever  found;  would  not  then  themfelves  thinke  we  deferved 
the  worft  ufage  could  be  inflidled  on  us.  For  what  affurance  could  we  give  of  our  new 
Loyalty,  after  having  fo  childifhly,  and  impioully,  relinquifht  our  old  Allegance?  Could 
we  reafonably  repine  to  pay  with  our  owne  fweat  and  bloud,  thofe  Garrifons  which  muft 
be  kept  among  us,  to  fix  fuch  volatile  obedience  as  ours  would  appeare  to  be?  For  as  the 
Queftion  is  ftated  to  us,  we  ought  to  yield  to  whofoever  poffeffe  themfelves  of  Wejt- 
minjter  Hall :  Where  we  experimentally  have  found,  the  heads  of  divers  fadlions  and  pre- 
tentions, have  prefided  and  excluded  one  the  other;  and  we  have  no  Oraculous  affurance, 
but  it  may  be  fo  againe;  therfore  in  a  Condition  fo  dubious  and  uncertaine,  as  ours 
would  be  (wherein  no  leffe  then  our  foules  are  concem'd)  we  defire  them  to  permit  us 
fimple  men  to  take  leave  to  follow  the  perfpicuous  and  plaine  pathes  of  God  and  our 
lawes,  &  that  they  would  be  pleas'd  to  remember  that  good  charitable  Axiome  in  them, 
That  none  fliould  be  condemned  till  they  were  firft  Heard. 

Thirdly  we  are  told  of  Great  fummes  of  money  laid  out  on  this  Country :  For  all  we 
have  receav'd  we  are  moft  thankfull :  But  furely  it  will  be  no  evidence  of  ingratitude  to 
fay  to  whom  we  owe  moft,  &  this  muft  needes  be  acknowledg'd  to  our  Kings,  who  gave 
liberally  themfelves  and  permitted  Lotteries  to  be  eredled  for  us :  We  confeffe  private  ad- 
venturers added  much,  and  might  have  enjoyed  the  fruit  of  it.  If  the  firft  blow  to  the 
Colony,  had  not  taken  from  them  all  hopes  or  defires  of  profecuting  that,  which  they  fo 
earneftly  begun;  But  certainly  what  ever  their  liberallity  was,  we  fhould  have  avoided  it 
more  then  our  Rattle  fnakes,  if  it  had  inevitably  made  (laves,  our  felves,  our  wives, 
children,  and  Pofterity.  Since  the  Maffacre  onely  private  Marchants  have  adventured 
hither  for  private  gaines,  and  we  confeffe  have  fupplied  us  with  that,  which  we  could 
not  well  have  wanted,  but  this  we  fuppofe  would  be  no  convincing  argument  to  France, 
Spaine,  or  the  Low  Countries,  for  their  fubjedlion  to  England  becaufe  thefe  feverall 
places  have  been  thus  furnifh't  by  her.  If  then  we  owe  any  thing,  it  is  to  our  Kings 
liberallity,  care,  and  protedlion,  and  we  befeech  you  give  us  leave  to  pay  our  acknowl- 
edgement to  them. 

Fourthly  we  are  told  of  ufurping  a  Government  to  our  felves.  We  wifh  we  could 
tranfmit  our  recordes  to  the  view  of  our  accufers;  By  them  it  would  appeare  how  little  we 
deferve  this  imputation.  For  fince  the  beginning  of  the  Colony  we  have  never  innovated 
nor  altred  any  thing  in  the  maine  of  the  Government :  But  in  cafe  we  had  done  it,  what 
more  likely  Patrons  could  we  chuf e,  to  protect  us  then  thofe  who  accufe  us  ?  Grant  we 
had  banifh'd,  confin'd,  imprifon'd,  condemn'd,  and  executed  thofe  that  refufe  to 
obey  the  lawes  confirm 'd  by  many  confummated  free  Parliaments:  would  not  thofe 
pardon  and  abfolve  us  who  have  done  the  fame  to  others  that  have  refufed  to  obey  their 
edidls,  whom  they  in  their  confciences  beleeve  they  ought  not  to  acknowledge  to  be  a 
Parliament?  Yet  the  truth  is,  we  have  done  none  of  thefe  things,  no  man  here  ever 
f ufTer'd  in  his  perfon  or  eftate :  Concerning  the  differences  in  England,  our  lawes  keepe 
them  in  better  awe  then  to  dare  to  fpeak  againft  the  Protedtor  of  them :  'Tis  true  indeed 
Two  Fadlious  clergy  men,  chofe  rather  to  leave  the  Country  then  to  take  the  Oathes  of 
Allegeance,  and  Supremacy,  and  we  acknowledge  that  we  gladly  parted  with  them. 

Having  anfweared  thefe  accufations,  we  appeale  even  to  their  owne  judgments 
that  produced  them  whether  we  deferve  thofe  hatefuU  names  of  Rebells  and  Traitors: 
But  we  believe  they  will  ftill  ufe  them  to  us  and  others  becaufe  thofe  Lucky  Bugbeares 
of  Rebells,  and  Malignants,  have  frighted  divers  to  the  defertion  of  honeft  caufes :    Yet 

being 


(78) 

being  (as  we  fuppofe  in  their  owne  confciences)  free  from  thefe  imputed  crimes  (though 
very  fhort  fighted  in  fuch  fubtile  matters)  we  thinke  we  can  eafely  find  out  the  caufe  of 
this  excludmg  us  the  fociety  of  Nations,  which  bring  us  neceffaries  for  what  our  Country 
produces:  And  that  is  the  Avarice  of  a  few  interefted  perfons.  who  endeavour  to  rob  us 
of  all  we  fweat  and  labour  for:  Therfore  on  the  whole  matter  we  Conclude :  We  are  re- 
folv'd  to  Continue  our  Allegeance  to  our  mof t  Gratious  King,  yet  as  long  as  his  gratious 
favour  permits  us,  we  will  peaceably  (as  formeriy)  trade  with  the  Londoners,  and  all 
other  Nations  in  amity  with  our  Soveraigne:  Protedt  all  forraigne  Merchants  with  our 
utmofe  force  from  injury  in  the  rivers:  Give  letters  of  Reprifall  to  any  injured  within 
our  Capes:  AUwaies  pray  for  the  happy  reftauration  of  our  King,  and  repentance  in 
them,  who  to  the  hazard  of  their  foules  have  oppofed  him. 

This  is  unammoufly  confented  to  by  the  Governor,  Councell  and  Burgeffes

AT  THE  SURRENDER  OF  THE  COUNTRIE. 

[^Marc/i  12,  1651/52.] 

ARTICLES  agreed  on  and  concluded  at  James  Cittie  in  Virginia  for  the  furrender- 
ing  and  fettling  of  that  plantation  vnder  the  obedience  and  government  of 
the  Common  Wealth  of  England,  by  the  commiffioners  of  the  Councill  of 
State,  by  authoritie  of  the  Parliament  of  England  and  by  the  Grand  Affembly 
of  the  Govemour,  Councill  and  Burgeffes  of  that  countrey. 

Firft,  It  is  agreed  and  cons'ted  that  the  plantation  of  Virginia,  and  all  the  in-

wealth  of  England,  according  to  the  lawes  there  eftablifhed,  And  that  this  fubmiffion 
and  fubfcription  bee  acknowledged  a  voluntary  adt  not  forced  nor  donftrained  by  a  con- 
queft  vpon  the  countrey,  And  that  they  fhall  have  and  enjoy  fuch  freedomes  and 
priviledges  as  belong  to  the  free  borne  people  of  England,  and  that  the  former  government 
by  the  comiffions  and  inftrudlions  be  void  and  null. 

2dly.  Secondly,  that  the  Grand  Affembly  as  formerly  fhall  convene  and  tranfadl  the 
affairs  of  Virginia,  wherein  nothing  is  to  be  adled  or  done  contrarie  to  the  government 
of  the  common  wealth  of  England  and  the  lawes  there  eftablifhed. 

3dly.  That  there  fhall  be  a  fuU  and  totall  remiffion  and  indempnitie  of  all  adls, 
words  or  writeings  done  or  fpoken  againft  the  parliament  of  England  in  relation  to  the 
fame. 

4thly.  That  Virginia  fhall  have  and  enjoy  the  antient  bounds  and  lymitts  granted 
by  the  charters  of  the  former  Eangs,  And  that  we  fhall  feek  a  new  charter  from  the 
parliament  to  that  purpofe  againft  any  that  have  intrencht  vpon  the  rights  thereof. 

Sthly.  That  all  the  pattents  of  land  granted  vnder  the  coUony  feale,  by  any  of  the 
precedent  Govemours  fhall  be  and  remaine  in  their  full  force  and  ftrength. 

6thly.  That  the  priviledge  of  haveing  ffiftie  acres  of  land  for  every  perfon  trans- 
ported in  the  collony  fhall  continue  as  formerly  granted. 

ythly.  That  the  people  of  Virginia  have  free  trade  as  the  people  of  England  do 
enjoy  to  all  places  and  with  all  nations  according  to  the  lawes  of  that  common  wealth,

laft  Arrival  in  Virginia  hath  behaved  himfelf  Contemptuoudy  to  the  dis- 
turbance of  the  peace  of  the  Governor  and  Government  of  this  Colony  fettled 
by  Authority  of  Parliament. 
That  the  faid  Read  faid  that  he  could  and  would  by  his  own  Commiffion  command

OJtend  and  that  he  would  be  called  home  into  England  and  there  they  would  deal  well 
enough  with  him.

That  the  faid  Read  faid  that  if  he  had  been  below  he  would  have  difobeyed  the 
Governor's  Warrant  as  he  heard  Captain  Pott  had  done.

Increafe  of  Navigation  and  the  Articles  granted  upon  the  Surrender  of  this  Colony  to 
the  Obedience  of  the  Parliament. 

That  the  faid  Read  being  told  that  the  Captain  &  Merchant  of  the  Dunkirk  Ship

'    '  Tobacco  but  Ommitted  in  Cafting  up  the  laft  levy,  It  is  therefore  Ordered 

that  paj'ment  be  made  him  of  the  faid  fum  the  next  Affembly. 

Whereas  Thomas  Loving  High  vSherifi  of  James  City  County  by  petition  re- 
quefted  the  Opinion  of  the  houfe  whether  Coll.  Higgijon  having  been  fo  long  abfent

Upon  the  petitions  and  Articles  of  M'  James  Crewes  Exhibited  againft  Capt.  Phil-

produce  for  the  Confirmation  of  them  as  aKo  the  defence  and  Reply  of  Capt.  Peibles  to

mentioned  in  the  firft  Article  was  anyways  prejudicious  to  the  faid  Crewes  nor  more  than

mentioned  in  the  third  and  fourth  Articles  they  were  occafioned  by  Crewes  unworthy 
and  uncivil  provocation  for  which  Notwithftanding  Peibles  hath  Given  Satisfadlion 
according  to  the  order  of  the  County  Court.  And  to  the  fifth  Article  no  juft  proof  ap-

Affembly  records. 

And  for  the  better  manifeftation  thereof  and  the  prefent  difpatch  of  the  affaires  of 
this  countrey  we  declare  as  foUoweth: 

That  wee  are  not  diffolvable  by  any  power  yet  extant  in  Virginia  but  our  owne, 
That  all  former  eledlion  of  Governour  and  Council  be  void  and  null;  That  the  power  of

the  fupplanting  of  Englifh  Tobacco,  w"^  I  conceive  may  beft  be  effected  by  an  Adl  of 
ParliamS  feing  that  notw"'ftandinge  his  Ma"'  Proclamacons  forbidding  the  planting 
thereof,  it  is  planted  much  more  then  formerlie  in  divers  partes  of  this  kingdome  whereby 
his  Ma"'  plantacons  abroad  are  like  in  fhort  tyme  to  be  deferted,  and  utterlie  difabled 
from  planting  many  ufefull  &  advantageable  comodities  for  the  benefitt  of  England,  as 
hemp  &  flax  for  cordage,  linnen,  iron,  vines,  filke,  &  other  ftaple  comodities  w^*"  the 
fertilenes  of  Virginia  undoubtedlie  in  fhort  tyme  w""  the  care  and  induftrie  of  his  Ma"' 
people  there  may  produce.  Befides  the  Englifh  Tobacco  doth  greatly  hinder  the  fale 
of  Virginia  in  theis  partes,  W^  caufeth  his  Ma"'  fubjedles  in  Virginia  &  the  adventurers 
thither,  to  feeke  other  forraine  Marketes,  whereby  his  Ma"'  cuftomes  from  thence  are 
like  to  be  day  lie  impayred,  this  prefent  yeare  amounting  to  fifteene  thoufand  pounds 
from  Virginia  onely  in  all  likelihood  the  next  yeare  will  hardlie  render  halfe  the  profitt. 
This  prefent  yeare  an  eftimate  is  made  that  three  hundred  thoufand  waight  of  tobacco 
hath  been  planted  in  England,  and  it  is  thought  the  next  yeare  will  produce  here  as  much 
more  if  it  be  not  hindered  by  ftrong  hand. 

Next,  whereas  it  was  ordered  by  the  Lords,  that  the  Govemo'  of  Virginia  fhould 
there  take  bond  of  all  Mafters  of  Shipps  to  bring  into  England  all  fuch  comodities  as 
they  doe  lade  there,  that  England  might  be  the  onely  ftaple  of  that  place,  that  his  Ma"* 

might 


(124) 

might  not  loof e  his  benefitt  thereby :  it  were  much  better  that  bond  might  be  taken  here 
in  England  and  alfoe  in  Ireland  of  all  fuch  fhipps  as  lade  hence  for  thofe  partes  feing  the 
Governo'  is  not  to  permitt  trade  there  w'^  any  forrayners  and  by  this  meanes  it  will  be

Yo"  may  pleale  herew""  to  receive  my  humble  tender  of  the  Adls  and  the  whole  pro- 
ceedings paffed  in  writing  this  laft  Affembly.  When  I  firft  declared  the  Bangs  Propo- 
fitions  to  them  (according  as  my  deutye  injoyned  mee)  I  urged  theire  deutye,  together 
w""  the  necelfitye  of  theire  yeilding  to  them,  by  inftancing  how  farr  theire  povertye  had 
growen  and  increaf  ed  upon  them  by  the  continuation  of  theire  excef  five  planting  of  theire 
Tobaccoes,  having  noe  confideration  eyther  to  Commodity es  of  more  worthy  confequence, 
or  what  is  greater  in  Providence  to  the  meanes  of  lubfiftance,  inferring  from  thence  the 
benefitt  of  a  Contradl  w^*"  might  afford  them  a  larger  proffitt,  as  alKo  more  tyme  and 
Vacancye  to  attend  more  noble  Indeavors.  What  wee  could  winn  upon  them  by  all 
poffible  meanes  wee  could  ufe,  theire  Anlwere  in  its  natural!  colours  w^'owt  alteration 
prefented  will  informe. 

Nor  doe  I  conceive  (under  yo"  Hon"  favour)  a  Contradt  will  ever  be  brought  to 
effedt  if  it  dependes  upon  the  yeilding  of  an  Affembly.  And  if  it  palfe  otherwyfe  w'l-owt 
obliging  all  other  Englifh  Plantations  I  may  juftly  allfo  feare  the  Ruine  &  unpeopling 
of  the  Colonye. 

I  befeech  yo'  Hono'  to  give  me  leave,  owt  of  my  deutye,  to  informe  the  more  generall 
voyce  of  the  people  heere.  They  are  of  late  more  then  heretofore  given  to  affedt  good 
buildings,  fcarce  any  Inhabitant  but  hath  his  garden  and  Orchard  planted. 

Few  there  are  but  indeavour  the  raifing  of  Stocks  of  Cattell  or  Hoggs  or  both,  w"" 
much  labour  and  paines,  confidering  the  neighbourhood  of  the  Salvages,  who  are  ever 
awake  to  mifcheifs  and  injuryes  of  fpoile,  even  in  the  ftreighteft  time  of  peace. 

Yf

Yf  (fay  they)  ou'  Tobaccoe  from  whence  wee  yett  fetch  ou'  Maintenance  muft  fall 
into  a  Contradl,  all  fhipping  will  defert  us,  excepting  fome  few  belonging  to  the  Contrad;- 
ors,  where  is  then  the  Incouragement  to  the  breeding  of  Cattell  or  Hoggs  when  the 
meanes  whereby  to  vent  them  is  abridged  us.  And  what  is  worfe  in  confequence,  the 
Collonye  will  in  fhort  tyme  melt  to  nothing  for  want  of  fupplyes  in  people,  for  of  the  hun- 
dred w"^""  are  yearely  tranf ported,  fcarce  any  but  are  brought  in  as  Merchandize  to  make
